The coach says: "We've been watching [VA-SJ] on tape and they remind us somewhat of Campbell in that they are very aggressive and very athletic. They have a great point guard in Jason Hicks. They do well with offensive rebounds and I think they have a little more talent overall than Campbell. Over the past four seasons, the winner of the Hubbard district has come from the Trumbull Athletic Conference, and that says something about the TAC. Friday's win was very gratifying because the kids leading us are the ones who were freshmen when we took over the program. It makes it look as if what we are doing is paying off."
Scouting VA-SJ: The Vikings needed a last-second putback basket by sophomore Jaycen Harris to defeat Cleveland Central Catholic to win the Kirtland district tournament.
