The Viks played brutal football, but their inconsistancy in moving the ball inside the 20 yard line was their downfall.

The Viking defensive unit proved the strong point of the team, holding opposing teams to an average of 17 points a game. Viks' defense blanked two teams, Sprague and McNary. The Viks held top-ranked Crescent Valley in check almost the entire second half only to lose 20-13 on' three long scoring runs by Crescent Valley backs. The team always came on strong against the better teams in the League. They held second-ranked Corvallis to a 65 deficit only to lose 11-6 on a long-bomb touchdown with two minutes left in the game. Even with those close games the Viks ended the season 3-6.
