‘Into the storm’
Vikings hit reset under Dallin Spencer
MOSES LAKE — With the 2026 basketball season fast approaching, the Big Bend Community College Vikings men's basketball program isn’t wasting any time establishing a new culture under first-year Head Coach Dallin Spencer. “We've got some pieces,” he said. “They're freshmen and they're young, (we’re) teaching them the right way and the wrong way to do things and building a new culture and new standard. Holding everybody to that and letting everybody understand that the standard is the standard, and nobody's above it from the coaches down.”
Bobcats run wild in blowout of Eastern Washington
CHENEY — The Eastern Washington Eagles (2-6) fell in dominant fashion at home Saturday 56-20 to the Montana State Bobcats (6-1). Head Coach Aaron Best was candid in a postgame interview, according to EWU Athletics. “Our guys battled, and I thought we got some momentum on the surprise onside kick recovery, but it was a three-and-out right after. It seems to be a common theme to create momentum with a big play, but do not capitalize on it,” Best said. “On the defensive side, there were too many explosive plays and those explosives were touchdowns. A few of them were on third and fourth downs. It was not only explosives, but a conversion that ended in a touchdown.”
Big Bend finds its grit as postseason race narrows
MOSES LAKE — The Big Bend Community College Vikings (6-9) bounced back from their 3-0 loss on Friday to Spokane Community College with a gritty 3-2 win over Treasure Valley Community College on Saturday. "We start off sometimes a little slower than normal, sometimes it just takes us a little bit of time to get into our groove," Head Coach Lindsey Linthicum said. "Which I think is normal for a lot of teams. It just depends on the set, depends on the rotation. Once we started recognizing and seeing like, 'No, we're not letting this get away from us,' that's when we started stepping up and running different rotations that we knew were more on our side for just keeping things going positive for our program."

Vikings earn home victory over Blue Mountain
MOSES LAKE — The Big Bend Community College Vikings (7-9) had a dominant game at home for their Dig Pink night. The Vikings proved their skills, claiming a 3-1 victory against the Blue Mountain Timberwolves. "We came out ready to rock and roll and then we just let a couple of mental mistakes dictate that third set," said Vikings Head Coach Lindsey Linthicum. "Sometimes when you get too far behind, it's more of a climb out than trying to just finish it, but thankfully the fourth set, we were like, 'Wait a second, what's going on?' and finished it." Wednesday's game started close in the first set as BBCC and BMCC went back and forth. After tying 6-6, the Vikings began to pull ahead and eventually built themselves up to a 17-10 lead.

New look, same hunger: Lady Vikings chase another regional crown
MOSES LAKE — After a special season that saw the Big Bend Community College Lady Vikings compile a 27-4 record, they're back in the gym looking to build on last year's success. According to Head Coach Preston Wilks, the team has been itching to get the season started. "It seems like you wait forever to get the season started, you get these girls signed up in the late spring, everybody gets antsy," he said. "We seem to be doing well, and the girls are all on board and working together, working hard. They seem to like each other, but they also, so far, seem like they understand that you got to go hard at each other in practice, and worry about being friends after practice, and that's been nice so far."
