Roy has no answer for Mercedes Staples as Viewmont runs winning streak to 13

While she paced the Vikings with 23 points Wednesday night in a 56-41 win over Region 5 rival Roy, it should come as no surprise that perhaps her best effort of the night came at the defensive end.

“Defensively, she was amazing at the end of the game,” Viewmont coach Clint Straatman said. “She played defense on their post [Roy 6-foot-5 senior Josie Williams]. She loves to play defense on their post and does it very well. She is as good defensively as anyone can be when she wants to be.”

Still, the future Clemson Tiger gave the Vikings a spark at the offensive end in the opening period, and Roy wasn’t able to recover.
