Madison Young with 13 points tonight for the Lady Vikings, and she did not score back on Tuesday vs. Grimsley…Strong contributions from newcomers Apple and Rumple, those two are really stepping up and taking some of the pressure off of Mosbacher and Young…Good to Bel Varadi back out there and getting it done tonight for NWG…We remember here from back in the day, with Mosbacher and Young at NWG Middle School..We hear that Apple’s dad Brad, is a former NWG Viking basketball player, and that he also played and played well, for Greensboro College…Page has to cut down on their turnovers and convert the open baskets…
