Capture Valle Vista League Co- Championship P This year ' s varsity basketball team led by Coach Ron Rice and Assistant Coach Mark Pasquerella displayed a great amount of talent and wizardry. Every afternoon the team practiced for two hours, improving their weak point, quickness, and pursuing their strongest point, experience. The Vikings won a memorable 8 out of 10 league games, making them Co- Champions of the Valle Vista League. The team ' s victo- ries resulted in one of their goals, a chance for CIF. The Vikings ' enthusiasm was very high throughout the maiority of the season, making their teamwork appear as smooth as satin. The team ' s best game was the second Edgewood game in which the Vikes won in overtime, 52-51. A great disappointment was the Vike ' s loss in CIF against the Mountain View Vikings. The game had figured to be close, but Mountain View regrouped in order to win in overtime, 65-61. This year ' s captains were senior Phil Arvidson and lunior Tim LaKose. The two forwards Tim LaKose and Aaron V icks were the best players, Aaron Wicks was also most improved, according to Coach Rice. Tim La- Kose received the prestigious award of Most Valuable Player of the Valle Vista League. This year ' s starters consisted of three seniors and two luniors. Although they weren ' t on the floor at the beginning of the game, Northview ' s second string proved to be valuable to the team ' s success. Coach Ron Rice expressed that, Out of 16 years of coaching, this team is one of the top that I have coached. Aaron Wicks learns to fly while reaching high (or the basket in the sky.
