Tonight (Saturday), the ‘Cats will travel to Viking Village to face a Villa Angela-St. Joseph basketball team that is 11-7 and ranked 17th in The Plain Dealer’s Top 25 seven-county poll. Coach Babe Kwasniak's Vikings are led by 6-foot-8, 240-pound junior post and three-year varsity mainstay Demonte Flannigan, who has totaled 59 points in his last three games combined. Among the Vikings’ other standouts are versatile senior guard Karl Garner and forward Brian Parker, who is one of the area's top freshmen.

The Vikings are coming off Friday night's impressive 64-48 victory at St. Peter Chanel (15-3), a game in which Flannigan and Parker combined for 38 points and Flannigan was a shot-changing force inside.

A 6 p.m. junior varsity game will precede the varsity encounter and the golden tones of the SIBN's John Fanta '13, Paddy White '14 and Greg Ziton '13 promise to make you feel you like it's the late 1970s and Clark Kellogg is going baseline to baseline for the Baron Straub.
