ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – High school games are set to start on Saturday, across the state. The Valley Vikings Boys Basketball team, won’t start their season until April 3, but they are hard at work and, even though they lost some key players from last year, come in with a new head coach, EZ Panas, making the team feel confident.
“You know, he has been our assistant coach all my four years, and he really takes after Coach Coleman, and they were two great coaches and I think EZ is going to do great,” said VHS Guard Derrick Chavez. “We are going to do the same thing that we have done for 20 years. Obviously, I got to be myself and I am not Coach Coleman, so I got to coach the way my personality dictates, but we are going to do things the same way we have been doing for 20 years. Obviously, it has been successful,” said Panas.
