VASJ basketball hosts Broadmoor Bobcats The Broadmoor Bobcats traveled to VASJ High School on Friday, February 22, for a special basketball game against members of the Vikings boys and girls teams. The Vikings fought hard but ultimately fell to the Bobcats 53-32, continuing the team’s 200+ game winning streak. This may be the only game of the year that VASJ doesn’t mind losing. When the Broadmoor team arrived at VASJ, they received an enthusiastic welcome from a gym full of VASJ students, faculty, and staff dressed in green and white (Broadmoor’s school colors) and decorated with personalized signs and banners.
