Even the most die-hard North fan has to feel good for Vincent.
If you don't know the story, former head coach Chris Griffin died of a heart attack last year. His best friend, Marquis Hines, a former boys' coach, took over the Vincent program to honor Griffin.
Griffin was the father of Nicole Griffin, Vincent's gifted 6-6 freshman.
Saturday, after they won their title, the Vikings reflected on their late friend and coach.
"This is for Griff," Hines said.
Vincent player Jade Hatchett reflected on practice bets between Coach Griffin and his players.
"He'd bet us a Gatorade he could make a free throw, then he'd close his eyes and shoot it. It was that kind of confidence we had to have."
