Bucs are on the heels of the Vikings | Boys soccer

Rivalry soccer game April 18 could mean a change in the leader of the Olympic League.

KINGSTON — The Kingston Buccaneer varsity team is one win from tying for first in the Olympic League with the rival North Kitsap Vikings.

The Bucs and Vikings play April 18 at North Kitsap Stadium.

Prior to the rivalry game, however, the Bucs play the Olympic Trojans (5-2-0-2) April 16.
