It didn’t matter whether they were shooting from a foot outside the 3-point line or from Fourth Street Live!. Valley High School’s boys basketball team wasn’t missing from deep.

The Vikings connected on a record-breaking 18 3-pointers as they trounced Fairdale, 99-70 on Tuesday evening. The 18-made 3-pointers are both a school record and tied for the seventh-highest mark in state history according to the KHSAA.
“We’ve had some good practices as of late and I’ve been drilling the kids on shooting and how important it is,” Valley coach DeJuan Wheat said. “Tonight was one of the residuals of hard work. These guys have been working hard lately and concentrating on their shooting, and it really paid off tonight.”
Wheat said Tre Anderson opened the game with a pair of 3-pointers and it was lights out from there, with everyone stepping up to hit shots from behind the arc. Anderson finished with 15 points, Cam Wilson scored 24, Ty Walter had 18, Xavier Johnson had 16, and Eric George finished with 15 points and five assists. Point guard Curt Lewis recorded a rare rebound-assist double-double, finishing with 11 rebounds and 13 assists to go with just two points, serving as the maestro of the proceedings.
“We’ve got a super point guard in Curt Lewis and not only is he a good player but he’s our most unselfish player,” Wheat said. “When you’ve got a point guard that’s 6-foot-3, can breakdown defenses, can see over the defense and find guys in shooting positions, that’s good for all the other players, to find shooters in shooting range.”
The win was Valley’s fifth in a row and in its last four games, the team has scored 79 points or more in each game.
McDaniels brothers dominate on the court
Ryan McDaniels and Tyler McDaniels had a night to remember.
Collegiate’s twin-tower siblings both had huge performances in the Titans 73-65 win over Iroquois, with senior Ryan McDaniels recording a triple-double and freshman Tyler McDaniels recording a double-double.
Ryan, a 6-foot-9 forward, scored 12 points to go with 12 rebounds and 12 blocks, while Tyler, a 6-foot-5 forward, scored 13 points along with 12 rebounds.
What a special night. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that,” Collegiate coach Shannon Weaver said. “Iroquois presses and just turns up the tempo, so it was everywhere. Ryan is an excellent 3-point shooter. (His scoring) was inside out, Tyler’s was mostly around the basket. We were just being patient and got some great opportunities with back cuts.”
Ryan has signed with the University of Alabama-Huntsville, while Weaver said he believes Tyler is farther along as a freshman than where Ryan was at his age. Ryan transferred to Collegiate last season after two years at St. Xavier.
