The Vikings lost to tournament runner-up Lee High of Huntsville 72-52 in their first game and Hillcrest High of Tuscaloosa in its second game, 68-50.
"One team is ranked No. 1 in Alabama and the other team has the best player in the state," Sanders said. "Against Lee they would take it inside with their two 6-foot-6 and 6-foot-5 guy and if we tried to stop that they would pass it outside and hit their shots. It was a matter of pick your poison. But the tournament was good for us in a lot of ways."
