Patrick Kinmartin got a look at the suddenly hot Pleasant Valley High boys against Foothill (a solid squad) on Wednesday night, and the report (other than his game story) is that the Vikings aren't just a mirage after their big win over Chico last week.
Jaycob Velasco is a big boy and draws a lot of attention -- rightfully so given his production -- but from what I've heard and seen of these box scores and word of mouth from Patrick and fellow sports writer Nick Wilson, the Vikings are a guard-focused team. Bren Haley and Jordan Rodrigues seem to be the engines of PV right now. I've seen Chico play this year and was impressed, but have the Panthers peaked already? It's hard to say what the end of the EAL season will look like now.
As he normally does, E-R photographer Jason Halley put together a nice photo gallery of the game. Check it out.
