Walton Beach High Schools was played, Hudson Marina donated a city cham- pionship trophy The winning team keeps the trophy for one year. At that time it was also stipulated that the first team to win three con- secutive games could keep the trophy permanently. To date, no team has won more than two consecutive games. In both the 1984 and 1985 contests the Vikings beat the Indians with less than a minute to go in the game. The Vikings were as eager to take the championship as the Indians were to bring the trophy back to the Choctaw side of town.
