FIRST TO THE SHORE: It takes a Village as Vikings come in at No. 3 in VYPE rankings
3 — THE VILLAGE SCHOOL VIKINGS
The Village School is coming off yet another solid season, in which they went 27-12 overall and rolled to the TAPPS-6A Final Four. The season came to an end in the State Semifinals and fourth-year head coach Jason Cantwell returns two starters off that squad.
Junior guard Shaniya Williams is back after securing a first-team, all-state selection a year ago for her remarkable efforts (17 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 3.2 apg, 2.9 spg). She was also selected to the TAPPS 6A All-State Tournament team.
Williams is joined by Cyra Narahari (So. G), who averaged roughly 8 points and 7 rebounds per contest, resulting in a second-team, all-district selection as well as an all-state honorable mention.
Beyond this duo, Cantwell is looking towards a trio of talented freshmen Toni Ademuwagun, Amanda Rossini and Nyla Singleton to step up big for the program this season. Keys to success according to Cantwell include growing on the fly with the freshmen. “The learning curve will be hard with a tough early schedule that will hopefully pay dividends when we open district play in January,” Cantwell said.
