Latest North Kitsap Vikings

All eyes are on Colton Bower as the North Kitsap star tries to lead his team to the state playoffs. The Vikings upset Bainbridge recently so they could be on their way. A contact rather than a power hitter, the catcher plans to play at WSU next year and maybe try to walk-on in football. Steve Powell/North Kitsap Herald
