Morgan Albers, one of three seniors on the La Jolla basketball team who will graduate next June, says his ethic is to work hard on defense, and this season, "I'm trying to be more of an offensive threat."

"This year's team is better than previous years," he said in a short interview before the Vikings' game at Scripps Ranch Tues., Jan. 26. "We've lost in the first round of CIF before. We hope to make a good run in CIF."

Asked if he has thought about the fact he is older than most of the rest of the team and in his final year, he responded, "I try to make the most of it" (in his minutes played).

He said he doesn't really mentor younger teammates. Instead, he tries to lead by example. "I try to play hard. If people are nervous before a game, I try to (say something that will encourage them)," he said.

He started in the Vikings' game against the Falcons, a 57-46 loss.
