ORWIGSBURG - Come this time of year in any sports season, it is win or go home. For seniors, it is an especially pressing time as a loss not only ends a season, it ends a career.

Head Coach Denny Kasper told his Williams Valley Vikings' boys' basketball team to play with a sense of urgency in its opening round District 11-A playoff game with Salem Christian (played at Blue Mountain High School), to play like it could be the last time the seniors on this squad would lace up the sneakers together.

Brent Wolfe, one of four starting senior players, led the Vikings to the District 11-A semifinals, pacing the club with 22 points and 18 rebounds in their 64-35 win. He parlayed a seven-for-seven shooting effort in the first half for 15 of his points as Williams Valley cruised to a 37-21 lead.

Wolfe had plenty of support. Fellow senior Tyler Herb knocked in 19 points and Josh Grimm posted 11 points.

The Vikings, the two-time defending District 11-A champs, used some great defense to open a big early lead. The Vikes forced 20 turnovers in the game.
