Halftime: You've got to give Vincent credit

This a very good basketball team. It plays hard, fast and aggressively.

North isn't playing poorly as much as the Raiders have not faced a team like this.

What's really killing North right now is Vincent's perimeter shooting game. The Vikings have four 3-pointers, including Teri Stamps' dagger just before the first-half horn that gave Vincent a 29-24 halftime lead.

North led 22-21 with 1:49 left in the half, but Vincent closed out the half with an 8-2 run.

What's worse for North than being behind is the fact that Stamps' 3-pointer clearly gave Vincent the momentum.

But this North team and its five senior starters won't quit. Should be a great second half.
