Homewood-Flossmoor has been a team in transition to start the season. The Vikings graduated star forward Alyssa Latham — currently at Syracuse — and have been trying to forge a new identity with this current group.
Add in the rigorous schedule H-F has played; taking some lumps is natural. The Vikings have played Batavia, Bolingbrook, Butler and Kenwood already. Those are four of the best teams in the state. However, facing the tough competition has benefited the Vikings as they entered this season with many unknowns outside of senior guard Jaeda Murphy.
