SEER Steve Griffin goes up... Mike Hewlett taps in two . . crosstown rivals - Twice! Mike Baldwin fires. . . Showing the makings of a true championship team, the Vikings came out on top of the rugged Division One tournament, downing E. E. Smith, 89-76, and Terry Sanford, 70-67. Entering their first 4A Tournament, a phenomenal task for any team in its first year of league competition, the Vikings made a very impressive showing in Greensboro. Making believers out of many non-believers, the Vikings advanced to the finals. Overcoming first game tension the Hoggard quint defeated Gastonia Ashley, a team that two years before before won the tournament, in a close contest, 52-49. Asheville, a team which previously beat Hoggard, was shocked by the Vikings, 58-53. Thus advanced the Vikings into the championship fray. South Mecklenburg, a team which relied heavily on a 6’ 8” giant, was Hoggard’s opponent. Height proved the difference in the crucial game which was decided in the last five seconds. Hoggard’s dream was spoiled, but not without gallant team effort and a brilliant parting performance by senior Mike Callahan, who hit 11 of 12 shots for a fantastic 91.6%. The 59-58 defeat was felt hard by all, and the Vikings remained number one in the hearts of everyone. Hoggard had established itself as an Eastern cage power being led by five senior starters. Pat Lewis, Mike Callahan, Mike Hewlett, Barry Napp, John Jones, Steve Griffin, and Mike Baldwin provided the bulk of the Hoggard attack. Graduation will hurt the Vikings, but with the excellent coaching and talented junior cagers, as well as the tremendous school spirit, Hoggard will again be a potential powerhouse.
