There are those who may take Dieruff HS Boys' Basketball team lightly, especially with a 5-6 record.That would be a mistake, as Allentown Central Catholic's learned to their chagrin on Saturday night. Their perfect season evaporated in a 40-37 loss to the Huskies.
With the exception of a strong, 13-point effort by Jay Vaughan, the Vikings were unable to get going offensively. Dat Lambert and Nick Filchner had only 8 points, while Chad Kratzer had just 7.
Dieruff's C.J. Richardson scored 22, and Will Melson added another 10.
This summer, Dieruff also handed Central Catholic one of its few losses in a real drubbing.
When the Huskies come out to play, they can beat anyone. They face Becahi next while the Vikings will visit Northampton.
