Vikings Try to Climb As Lakeview Looms in Cage Outlook
Columbus coach Dennis Geraghty builds around two returnees Rick Thomas and Darrel Rickert as he reshapes a 74-74 season label into a tougher lineup. Thomas moves to forward to boost height and rebounding while guards battle for spots, with Rocky Plettner Larry Kapels and Randy Hickman vying for backcourt roles. The squad finished 16-6 last year, won the Husker Division title and Platte College Classic berth, and aims for faster, more open offense and relentless pressure defense.
