VIKING SHOOTERS To many, the season is just liked all the others, but to the coaches and the team it's one-of-a-kind. What is that makes the season what is is? It's the trials (playing on an injured leg), temptations (wish- ing you could fight against the ref's call), humor (knocking your man over and the ref calling him for the foul), aggravations (your opponent making a field goal in the last second to win the game by 2 points or fouling out in your last game), and the never ending determination (giving 100 percent re- gardless of the score). The Vikings finished the sea- son with 49.1 offensive average and a 48.9 deffen- sive average. Zach Andersen and Mitch Schlater were chosen by the team to represent them as captains. Andersen also took the honor of Most Valuable player and Rick Thompson was selected by the team as the Most Improved player. VARSITY FRONT: Coach Pedersen, Coach Holiday. L TO R: Jeff Hilsabeck, Jim Huff, Steve Albertson, Rick Thompson, Ken Akers, Craig Davis, Zach Andersen, Steve Nadler, Mitch Schlater, Greg Hilsabeck, Lyle Christensen.
