Basketball Preview: Viewmont Vikings vs. East Leopards
The Viewmont Vikings will take on the East Leopards at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Hopefully Viewmont focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 15 last Tuesday.
Viewmont is leaving town to face East after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Viewmont took a 57-38 bruising from Salem Hills.
Viewmont might have lost, but man, Callie Peterson was a machine: she went 6 for 14 en route to 14 points plus five rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Peterson a new career-high in threes (two). Mary Carr was another key player, scoring four points in addition to six rebounds and four steals.
Meanwhile, a victory for East just wasn't in the cards on Tuesday as the squad wasn't able to take the lead at any point. They had to suffer through a 77-43 loss at the hands of Pleasant Grove. The Leopards were down 63-32 at the end of the third quarter, and things only got worse from there.
Despite the defeat, East had strong showings from Aundrea Dennett, who had 19 points, and Jaylah Dulin, who scored 18 points. That was a full 41.9% of East's points, marking the third time in a row she's earned more than a third of the team's points.
Viewmont came up short against East in their previous matchup back in February of 2018, falling 66-59. Can Viewmont avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
