Valley Boys Basketball 2012-2013 Capsule
Head coach: Brian Farnsworth, eighth season
2011-12 record: 22-7 (12-2 Northeast)
Returning starters: Two
Top players: F Daniel Young (Sr.); G Ryan Johnson (Sr.); G/F Spencer Mathis (Jr.); G Cameron Burton (So.); F Eric Burrell (Jr.)
Outlook: The Vikings had just one senior that played significant minutes last season, but seven other players transferred out of the program.
Still, there is plenty of talent left ot make another run at the Northeast title.
The 6-foot-8-inch Young, who has signed with Cal State Fullerton, gives the team an interior presence, especially on defense.
Johnson was the team’s leading scorer last season, and will bring toughness.
Mathis has grown to 6-6, and is an inside-outside threat.
If sophomores Burton, Nick Brannon and Shea Garland contribute as expected, the team should be among the best in the Sunrise Region.
