Indians vs Vikings — More than just a game With the beginning of every school year come the inevitable questions: Is Choctaw better than Ft. Walton this year? At football? At basketball? Who will win The Game this year? Known as the best rivalry in Northwest Florida, the Choctaw-Ft. Walton confrontations bring more excitement, fun, action — and yes, also tears — than any event in this area. Every time the Indians and the Vikings clash you can toss records, scorecards, and tab sheets aside and get set to watch competition the way it was meant to be seen. From deep inside every player a force with invincible power is created and perfection in every aspect of every sport is displayed when an Indian-Viking contest is played. The scores never reflect the true intense action played in each game and since there is no way to prove who is better, we can say that Choctaw has something that no one can diminish in any way, shape, or form: INDIAN PRIDE. 22 STUDENT LIFE
