Viking Noelle Oberholtzer hits a serve in a home match against Klahowya March 18.

The North Kitsap Vikings boast some newcomers on their girls’ tennis team and are off to a 2-0 start this season.

NK beat the Klahowya Eagles 5-2 March 18 at home and won all four doubles matches.

The Vikings brought on 12 newcomers to their team this year, making up half of their roster.

“I think the preparation for a lot of the girls, because they’re new, is just the basics of tennis,” NK coach Jay DeVries said.
