After starting 0-2, the Vikings have now rattled off seven straight double wins, also picking up two over winter break in the Montgomery County/Fredrick County Holliday Challenge against St. Johns Catholic Prep and Fredrick High School.

“We have consistently hit shots and have had great intensity of defense which leads to easy baskets,” guard Ben Castagnetti said.

The team has been led with consistant offensive play from guards Kyle Depollar and Steinhorn who are both averaging over 11.5 points a game.

On the defensive side of the ball, center Scott Adkins is averaging 5.5 rebounds per game while 6’6” Josh Fried is averaging 5.2 rebounds and two blocks per game.

The boys will look to keep rolling at rival B-CC, Monday Jan. 6, where they will try to improve their record to 8-2.
