Senior guard Zach Duffy, who figures to fill a role coming off the bench in La Jolla coach Paul Baranowski's rotation, sports a thick though trimmed beard, is very friendly and outgoing with this reporter, and looks forward to the Vikings' basketball season, which is upon us in less than 24 hours, at this writing.
"We are just an overall hard-working team," said Duffy by Facebook. "We are all fully invested in this system that we have going and we are all hungry for a playoff push.
"We are working hard on our conditioning and our defensive approach, so in crunch time we are the team that doesn't make mistakes because of fatigue."
Regarding the big men, the 5'10" shooting guard says, "A major improvement that I personally have noticed are in our posts. Alex (Pitrofsky) has really become a dominant scorer, and so has Mark (Rawdin) and Joho (Johannes Osypka). Unfortunately, Mark is sidelined with a knee injury, so once he's back and healthy, we are going to be a tough team to stop in the post."
Which answers the question of why the 6'5" Rawdin, though he sat with the team at the Grossmont scrimmage Nov. 28, didn't seem available to play.
