MORAN For about 5 fleeting minutes, a young Marmaton Valley High squad was trading buckets with a potent Northeast-Arma offense.
Alas, the Vikings found a higher gear, more than enough to cruise to what become a 76-23 victory in the opening round of Marmaton Valleys preseason basketball tournament.
The loss drops Marmaton Valley to 0-2 on the season. The Wildcats resume tournament play Thursday evening against Madison.
