4760 16 85 244. That's an important number for fans of Harstad Vikings.

4760 16 85 244. That's an important number for fans of Harstad Vikings. Vikings are in deep trouble financially and might have to file for bankrupcy on Dec 29 unless they come up with at least 2-300.000 NOK really fast. So if you are a supporter of Vikings you can put money on the account and maybe save them. Vikings have success on the court but lack money. Troms Storm, the number two team, is also in deep trouble and can be forced to close business as well. Both teams play well but that doesn't help as long as they don't have money.
In Bergen Ulriken Eagles play well and have seen Audun Eskeland (176-G-85) return to the PG. Coach Jay Anderson has been out due to health problems and subs Eskeland and Bullock have coached the team well. Gimle has had some extraordinary matches and Brede Ellingsen (188-G-88) is a new star. Ammerud and 3B lag behind but fight hard for the last (?) spot in the playoff. Fjellhamar has let the opponents score 100+ in 10 of 13 matches so far and seem to be lost.
