Vikings hammer Concrete

Konigsberger is out indefinitely with a knee infection. Konigsberger leads Valley in points (16 per gm) and rebounds (12 per gm).

"We did a good job on the defensive end," WVHS Head Basketball Coach John Peterson told the Herald Saturday morning. "We held ’em to 9 points in the first half. We were very workmanlike on offense. It wasn’t pretty, but we were efficient. I was pleased with our defensive pressure. We’re doing OK. We need a lot of work.

"Stephen (Camenzind) had a nice game with 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Kyler Oblad (10 pts) played a good game," Peterson noted. Anthony (Sagen) had 7 assists and Hunter Grey came off the bench and made 6 steals."

"We got ’em pretty good. We really played well against them as a team. Matt played unbelievable. We did a really good job of pushing the basketball. They’re a talented team. The kids came out and got on ’em."

Willapa Valley punished Lake Quinault 60-28 on Dec. 20 at Tenoski Gym in Menlo. Camenzind put home 14 points and Cody Buchanan banged in a dozen.
