Vikes top Jags

They were ranked No. 2 and No. 3 in the state heading into their Friday night game.

And nothing happened to change that ranking when the powerful West Valley Community College and San Jose City College men's basketball teams collided last week.

Sophomore Darrell Teat poured in 32 points to lead the Vikings to a 86-78 victory over the Jaguars. The win left West Valley 19-2 for the season and 1-0 in the Coast Conference.

The Vikings will hit the road this week to visit Ohlone in Fremont on Jan. 21, 7:30 p.m., before hosting rival De Anza Community College on Jan. 23, 7 p.m.

Dons open with win

David Newberg (Westmont) buried 11 points, and Scott Mollins added 10 to lead the De Anza Community College men's basketball team to a tight 54-52 win over Foothill in the Coast Conference opener for each school.

The win helped the Dons improve to 9-13 for the year.

Earlier in the week, De Anza had turned back Lemoore 95-58 in a nonconference game. Mollins led the Dons with 21 points, and Newberg chipped in with 19.

The De Anza women, meanwhile, slipped to 2-2 in the conference, losing 67-60 to Foothill, then 74-55 to San Jose.

Kerri Dunn (Presentation) fired in 20 points to lead all De Anza scorers in the loss to Foothill. Bernadette Suffle and Jane Riley (Westmont) supported with 17 points apiece.

Suffle and Dunn came back with 15 points each and Riley had 10, but the Dons lost to San Jose later in the week.

The Lady Dons, who entered the week ranked No. 9 in the state, are now 17-7 for the year.
