Latta’s comeback season continues

It's not too farfetched to think that after losing Lashay Page, the Latta boys were going to go through some rough times.
But that hasn't been the case.
A year after being ousted in the first round, coach Tony Whittington has his Vikings still alive and well, something they did only once while Page was there.
And they've done it very impressively.
The Vikings have a couple of great 3-point shooters and are as dangerous as maybe anybody but Mullins from long range. They also have a few kids on the inside like Avery McDonald and Tim Alexander who provide big bodies and a lot of rebounds.
Latta entered the postseason as a second seed and has already knocked off a very good Timmonsville squad. They will probably have to travel to Bamberg-Erhardt next round, a team that to my knowledge has only lost one game all season.
Do the Vikings have a shot? Sure, but more than likely, their comeback season will end on Saturday. But the Vikings have rebounded quicker than probably anybody thought they would.
And that bodes well for the future.
