At 23-0 Coach Al Visconti and the Tigers are looking to hang up a championship banner by the end of the weekend. In order to do that the team’s seniors will need to take them all the way.
Sky Williams has proved all season long that he is one of the best scorers in the State, and recently he has been relying on his teammates more when opposing defenses key in on him. Justin Nolan and Shyheim Nixon have been benefiting from the unselfish play and senior Mark Raymond has been providing the Tigers with a strong interior presence.
