The Yemf of the Viking This is the year of the Vi- king, as quoted from C.F. Reynolds, proved to be the truth. The Vikings came off the season with a 7-3 record and along with that were vic- tories worth rememberance. Under the strict leadership of head coach Chester Norris, the Vikings won their first Big Five Conference Title by de- feating big rival Choctaw. But not only that, the Vikings also gained the right of keeping the coveted trophy for the second year. This is also the year of two of the Viking team members as Ronnie Enclade excepted a scholarship to Florida State and Bobby Mikel to Alabama. To end the excitement and spirit of high school football was the yearly banquet, where the truely deserving players were recognized.

Of?-67256, De eme, Fbing Colm The Fort Walton Beach Vi- kings opened the 1973 football season with a 34-0 victory over the Rutherford Rams. It was the Vikings' third straight opening win and all three have been shutouts. After a listless first quarter, the Viking offense began to find itself and with 8 minutes remaining, Bobby Mikel took a Ron Enclade pass and splashed his way 33 yards for the score. Enclade added the PAT making the score 7-0. Mike Churillo got the first third quarter score by sprint- ing 24 yards and Enclade added the PAT. After the Vi- king defense gave the Vikings another of four turnovers for the night, on a fumble recov- ery by Warren Gould, Ron En- clade climaxed a 5 play drive by skirting his left side for the 20th point. Enclade then missed his only PAT of the game. ln the fourth quarter, a Kim Duncan interception gave the Viking offense another oppor- tunity and again the offense retaliated as Churillo ran 4 yards for a TD and Enclade converted for a 27-0 margin. After the defense forced an- other Ram turnover at the Ram 40, it took the offense only 4 plays before Enclade took a handoff from McDaniel and went left tackle for the fi- nal TD of the game. He then added the PAT, making the fi- nal score 34-0. 126!Rutherford Tony D t1,hut2,hut3.., block V uarterback Ronnie Enclade runs for V dage. y Durham collects an easy point Escambia defender attempts to ' g kick. urham turns on the spec Duncan escapes an Escamb defend
