Congratulations to students Delia McMullen and Emma Wells who were recognized as members of the All State Soccer team of Pennsylvania Jan. 25. Only three players in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference were awarded this honor so we are extra proud two Vikettes were chosen. McMullen was also recently honored as the 2024 Lehigh Valley Soccer Scholar Athlete.

On Jan. 30, the Allentown Central Catholic High School vs. Whitehall game was a “Gold Out” supporting pediatric cancer. The Vikings for Gold Club hosted a 50/50 raffle benefiting the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley.
