"It would be amazing for her to get that opportunity," Davis said. "I'm very optimistic that if she continues to put two seasons together that she'll get that opportunity. She's worked hard for it, earned it and I would be more than thrilled if she could get that."
The Vikings are in line for a rematch with Mount Notre Dame now. The two played Dec. 22 with Princeton winning 86-59 but was later forfeited because a Viking player had exceeded the nightly limit on quarters between junior varsity and varsity. The game is set for Tuesday, March 1 at Princeton, the designated host site for the OHSAA regional tournament. Game time is set for 8 p.m.
McDonald's All-American and Oregon signee Chance Gray had 15 first-quarter points and 24 at halftime. She passed the 2,200 career point list to make it to No. 25 among Ohio's all-time scorers.
But, Centerville came from eight down at half to creep within two in the fourth quarter. The Warriors withstood the challenge and won the game 61-50. Gray finished with 30 points and was 7-of-15 frombehind the arc. Freshman Daniah Trammell had a double-double with 10 points and 15 rebounds.
Warriors coach Carlton Gray has now taken his basketball team to a district title and was defensive coordinator on the school's first state title in football since 2009 back in December. The former NFL player is full of Forest Park pride.
"This caps off a tremendous year when you talk about football and everything else that's been going on," Carlton Gray said. "I never would have fathomed anything like this. It means a lot. These people really appreciate all that we've been trying to do. We still have a long way to go. This is the foundation for hopefully something we build with our team."
