Prior to the HS varsity game, the Hopewell Junior Varsity team battled against Central Valley as well.
This game was also very entertaining and tight at the end.
In the first quarter, the Vikings offense was on it, sharing the ball and scoring like pros. It was highlighted by Jeremy Benninghoff and Avery Bokor’s high level playmaking.
In the second quarter, the Vikings grabbed a big lead but let the Warriors climb back into the game. Zack Sampson shined in this quarter by finding great shots in the paint.
In the third quarter, the Vikings offense picked up again, scoring 21 points. Benninghoff went off, having six layups alone in the third and a few free throws.
In the fourth and final quarter, free throws were plenty. There were only two made shots that were not free throws, which were both made by Bokor. Jayvion Lindsay found the line with ease, getting three chances for free shots. Hopewell finished the 4th Quarter going 7 for 10 from the line, which put the game away.
