Piketon, who VC beat, beat Fairland by 30.

[Skiisme]

VC not playing their typical style of defense. Fairland up 17-15 after 1. Fairland has 4 treys.

[Tri-StateYouthSports]

30-28 Fairland @ the half.

[Skiisme]

VC has definitely been out hustled in the first half. Vikings made a nice 7-0 run at the end of the half to make the score 30-28 at the half. Vikings defense needs to move outside as the Dragons have drained 6 threes. Not normal for VC to be giving up that many 3's

[Skiisme]

Congrats vinton county from athens

[Spartan]

If the officials don't call fouls in the Warren and VC game, it will be a blood bath.

[warrior90]

Congrats Vinton, should be a good game against my warriors. Thought that was the roughest game I have ever seen. Letting them play took a whole new meaning.

Never have seen Oakhead post on here until earlier today. Not sure where he/she has done their scouting. His prediction was Fairland by 15+. Wow, I knew Fairland had good guard play, but just because you have some 250 lb boys, dont mean you will dominate a team inside. VC has played very well against teams that were bigger than them all season. VC boys are around 6 foot, but can jump with the big boys when rebounding. As I posted earlier, Fairland outhustled the Vikes in the first half, but did not have the ability to put them away. Freshman Jordan Albright has become a valuable asset to VC with his hustle and free throw shooting ability. He has scored in double figures in both tournament games. Watched the second half of the Warren/Unioto game and I think the next game on Thursday, is going to be something you will not want to miss!! Way to play tough Vikes and lets get prepared for Warren!!
