The boys basketball team captured its third consecutive win of the week after dismantling division rival Churchill 58-51, improving to 4-2 on the season.

The Vikings raced out to a 22-7 lead in the first quarter and didn’t look back. After leading 32-12 at halftime, the Vikes rested many starters in the second half as they cruised to 1-0 in divisional play.

Ever since their sloppy loss to Landon, the Vikings have refocused, outscoring their opponents by nearly 14 points over the last three games.

“Landon was a minor setback for a major comeback,” guard Baldwin Fomum-Mugri said. “We still have a lot of work to do in order to get where we want to be but these three wins were definitely steps in the right direction.”

Forward Riley Shaver again led the Vikings in scoring with 17, adding seven rebounds and three steals.

Forward Shaq Diboti-Lobe and center Anton Casey led the team with four assists apiece, scoring 12 and 10 points respectively.

Center Owen Caverly scored a career-high seven points coming off the bench.

The Vikes will look to keep rolling when they take on Frederick County opponent Tuscarora (4-1) this Friday.
