Promising newcomers: None given. Outlook: After a successful campaign with no seniors on the team last year for either the boys or the girls, look for the Vikings to push forward another step. The boys were ever so close to some hardware at states last year, and this group has a shot at some this time around. The girls should also be in the running. Coach’s comment: ”It costs you nothing to dream, and everything not to.” — Coach Chris Easton
