WILDWOOD, N.J. — The Vikings (6-4 overall) took one on the chin in the opening round of the Boardwalk Classic Sunday.
Sea fell behind 13-7 after one period, but narrowed the deficit to four at 27-23 at the break as Joey Moran scored all six of his points in the quarter.
However, that was as close the Huguenot school would get as Brayden Clark netted eight of his game-high 13 points in the third as the winners pulled away, allowing just one field goal in the final period to earn the victory.
Nick Rebracca led the Vikings with 11 points, while Luca Mineo added nine.
Sea is back in tourney action again Monday afternoon.

SALISBURY, Md. — The Falcons led 20-12 after one and 39-28 at the break, but a fourth-quarter breakdown led to overtime, where the Sea View school dropped a hard-fought game.
Clevi Hoxha led Danny Lanigan’s club with 15 points; Chris Albano (four assists) added 11, while Darin Humes-James, Charles Gambino (eight boards) and Adem Djonbalic all had eight.
But, Milford’s Bryce Holloway was too much for the Falcons to handle as he totaled a game-high 36 markers to highlight the comeback and eventual victory.
Wagner struggled from the line going just 5 for 13, while MM was 14-27 in the contest.
