Leverette joins 1,000 point club (02/09/12)
Viking Jake Leverette recently reached the 1,000 point plateau in his career while playing basketball at Community High School. Leverette has sparked the Unionville community and has been a role model for many younger players who one day hope to join him in the 1,000 point club. At the elementary school sign are Leverette, left, and Lane Stacy, a fifth grader, son of Betty and Brent Stacy...

Vikes dominate in 78-42 win (02/07/12)
The Community Vikings accomplished two major things in their last regular season game at Roger K. Brothers Gym on Monday night in a dominant 78-42 win over Merrol Hyde. First, they righted a ship that had been slightly rudderless for the past five games by treating a large home crowd to a high octane offense that fired on all cylinders, and in doing so allowed Ryan Adams, Jake Leverette and Austin Thurber, their three seniors, to leave the floor for the last time in the regular season as winners.. ...

Viqueens ravage Hyde for Senior Night victory (02/07/12)
The Community Viqueens got just what the doctor ordered before the district tournament with a 50-18 thrashing of visiting Merrol Hyde on Monday night. It was a nice tuneup with 10 players scoring, but it was also a nice way for seniors Shaina Stacey and Brittney Leverette to remember their last regular season appearance in Viqueen uniforms...

Vikings fall in title clash (02/05/12)
CHAPEL HILL -- Their place, their pace, their banner. The Community Vikings learned many painful lessons in the District 9-A championship game on Friday night against the Forrest Rockets in a 56-44 loss. Their dream of a regular season title went with it, but don't count them out just yet...

Lady Rockets slip by Viqueens (02/05/12)
CHAPEL HILL -- It would have been a great way for the Community Viqueens to finish the district schedule with a win over longtime rival Forrest, but they fell just short in the 26-20 loss despite a valiant effort. It was a defensive struggle throughout the game with the Viqueens more than holding their own and was able to battle their way to several lead exchanges in the first three periods but fell victim to turnovers under full court pressure to allow the Lady Rockets to separate and escape with a home victory.. ...

Community takes on Forrest tonight for district crown (02/03/12)
Coach Jace Bryant came to the Community Vikings with a five-year plan and a challenging set of goals and expectations for the basketball program to accomplish.

Vikings score win for 'Miss Katy' (02/01/12)
It was with hearts laden with the grief that the Community Vikings took the floor against Huntland on Tuesday night just hours after Miss Katy Primm was called to her heavenly home.

Lady Hornets put sting on Viqueens (02/01/12)
It was a heartbreaker for the Community Viqueens in a 32-25 loss on Tuesday night considering that they outplayed their opponent for a majority of the game. It started as a defensive battle with the Viqueens holding a narrow 3-2 edge after one period thanks to a 3-pointer by junior Katie Leverette...

Raiders stun Vikes (01/29/12)
LYNCHBURG -- Outhustled and outmuscled. Those are two words that very rarely apply to the Community Vikings basketball team in tandem, but never were they more aptly demonstrated or applied than Friday night when the Moore County Raiders pinned them with a damaging 58-47 loss that they could ill afford with a district title at stake...

Moore defense halts Viqueens (01/29/12)
LYNCHBURG - The Moore County Raiderettes employed a stifling full court pressure defense to defeat the Community Viqueens 44-22 on Friday night to solidify their top 2 state ranking. Sarah Raby led the way offensively for the Raiderttes with 20 points but it was the press that caused the most damage as the Viqueens struggled physically to get the ball up the court and they trailed 19-0 after one period and 32-13 at the half...

Leverette hits 1,000th point on Pink Out night (01/25/12)
Jake Leverette became just the 11th player in Community High School's 86 year history to score 1,000 career points in the Vikings 77-51 win over Eagleville on Tuesday night, but he gladly shared center stage with another competitor in Katy Primm, mother of sophomore point guard Luke Primm...

Tough Viking loss follows good week (01/24/12)
GALLATIN -- It was a disappointing way to end an otherwise banner week for the Community Vikings in a lethargic 57-50 loss to Aaron Academy on Saturday night at Volunteer State Community College. The Vikings, coming off of key district wins over MTCS and Fayetteville City on the road, simply could not throw the ball in the ocean for the majority of the game and were held to just 19 points in the second half, their lowest output of the season...

Vikes hold off charging Tigers (01/22/12)
FAYETTEVILLE--It was just over a month ago that the Community Vikings completely dominated every phase of the game and destroyed Fayetteville City by a score of 88-39. Not so this time. The Vikings (16-3, 9-1 District 9-A) utilized double figure efforts by Austin Thurber, Jake Leverette, Tanner Simmons, Zeke Grissom and Logan Pierce and still had to play to the final horn to hold off the hosts in a 77-68 win on Friday night in the Tigers Den...

Viqueens pick up key win over Lady Tigers (01/22/12)
FAYETTEVILLE -- It was just the type of sustained effort that the Community Viqueens needed as the season rapidly approaches tournament time with an impressive 46-41 win over the Lady Tigers.

Vikes claim 9A lead with Cascade defeat (01/15/12)
UNIONVILLE--Cascade rode into Unionville with momentum on its side. That momentum was squashed when the Champs ran into a buzzsaw known as Jake Leverette and the Community Vikings on Friday night.

Vikings relax too soon, fall in OT (01/11/12)
There are several lessons that the Community Vikings can take from their 76-70 overtime district loss to Forrest on Tuesday night. The Vikings found that it is not ever OK to thoroughly outplay your opponent well enough to build a double digit lead late in the game and then relax before the final horn blows...

Shy offense hurts Viqueens in loss (01/11/12)
The Community Viqueens were outstanding on defense against the Forrest Rockets but were just a little shy offensively as they fell 37-31 in district action Tuesday night at Roger K. Brothers Gym. Lady Rocket Savannah Brothers hit two treys in the first period to pace her squad to a 13-6 lead at the buzzer, but the hosts stiffened their defense effort in the second frame to hold the opponent to just five points to cut the lead to 18-15 at the intermission. ...

Vikings net big win over Hornets (01/08/12)
HUNTLAND--It could very well have been a negative situation that the Community Vikings, seeking to maintain their standing atop the District 9-A standings, would have to do so in a hostile environment on the road, and without the double-double figures that senior Jake Leverette routinely posts, but they turned it into nothing but positives in an impressive 66-59 win over the Hornets on Friday night...

Slow start strikes Viqueens again (01/08/12)
HUNTLAND--Slow starts have plagued the Community Viqueens in the early season and Friday night was no exception in a 40-34 road loss to district foe Huntland on Friday night.
