Grayson says coach Marc Urban simplifies his job by telling him to “be a point guard.”

The irony is just how unspecific that role actually is.

“I thought Travis did a really good job and picked his spots when to be aggressive and when to just be a point guard,” Urban said. “When he does that we are really good.”

Valparaiso 69, Portage 51: The Vikings gave coach Barak Coolman his 200th career win — 98 at Valparaiso and 102 in his previous stint at Fort Wayne Northrop.

The win was coach Barak Coolman’s 200th in his coaching career and 98th with Valparaiso. His previous wins all came at Fort Wayne Northrop.

“Those 200 wins represent a lot of great memories and a lot of great young men that have become successful men,” Coolman said. “It’s a testament to the guys I’ve coached and the coaching staff that I’ve been around. I just really appreciate everyone. I’m just humbled to be able to do this.”

Junior center Cooper Jones laid the foundation for Coolman’s milestone win in the post.
