For the second time this season, Campbell Hall humbled the Demar DeRozan-led boys over at Compton, and the Vikings did it without relying too heavily on Jrue Holiday.

Two other players besides Holiday netted more than 15 points in Campbell Hall’s 70-62 win over the Tarbabes for third place in the National Division of the Torrey Pines tournament in San Diego County. That’s the kind of performance Coach Terry Kelly wouldn’t mind seeing again when the Vikings play Minnetonka (the No. 1-ranked team in Minnesota by Scout.com) a week from tonight.

‘To have a championship caliber team, you’ve got to have balanced scoring,’ Kelly said. ‘We need a third or fourth scorer if we want to compete against top teams because it takes some of the pressure off Dallas (Rutherford) and Jrue.’

Saturday’s official release valve was sophomore James Johnson, who netted a respectable 17 points behind Rutherford’s team-best 20 and Holiday’s 18. In the first game against Compton, Holiday scored 32 points and was clearly the driving force behind the win.

‘We had good, balanced scoring in a tough, bounce-back game,’ Kelly said. ‘I couldn’t be any happier.’
