learning new techniques and improving old ones. Playing as a team was a major goal for the upcoming season. Another team goal was to learn, and that was just what the team did. Although the season ended with a record of 2-10 with wins over Sandy Creek and Aurora, Coach Randy Hubbard stressed to his freshmen at the beginning of the season to first play as a team and then strive for victor- ies.

Young Talent Adds Success to Viking Squad Ellen Warner ' s Junior Var- sity Volleyball team ended a very successful season with a modest record of 6-4, but don t let the win-loss column fool anyone. The experience and teamwork gained was the biggest victory for the young Vikings. Coach Warner always en- couraged the J.V. team to play to their fullest potential and even when a game was lost, she said that the team should always feel good about it if they played to the best of their ability. Consistent starters were Deb Keil, Mindy Roby, Tracy Schade, Stacie Spiehs, Angle Enevoldsen, and Denise Sad- dler, but the bench strength was important and every in- dividual had the opportunity to improve her skills in a game situation. Lolo Widmark, North- west ' s foreign exchange student from Sweden, also had her first opportunity to play volleyball. The Freshman Volleyball team had a successful year of ANGIE ENEVOLDSEN encourages the team to do their best. BECKY ENGLER DODGES A BUMP by one of her fellow teammates.

Team Effort Captures Prize: State Trophy The ultimate goal of any athlete is to be number one in his respective sport. 1981-82 was the year of the Vikings on the grid iron as they captured the Class B title. The Vikings finished the regular season 8-1. Their only loss was to the Aurora Huskies the third game of the season. Their first play-off game was an impressive win over undefeat- ed Kimball 36-13; then they stunned a state power, Lincoln Pius X, 41-0. But the icing on the cake was when the Vikings met Aurora in the finals and blasted them 55-0, a class B record for most points scored in a single play-off game. The Northwest Vikings captured the State Champion- ship and, in the process, broke or tied 12 different individual and team state records. One super stater, Todd Olson, and all staters, Kirk Berggren, Ron Maas, and David Sims, were honored from Northwest in area papers. ■■ n i n BpPw lP IB kV V y K I c HL ' mijiijjiijijiftgjjju igK j m 1 Bh V ' HI 1V p WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS ... and convincingly so as the Vikings made perhaps the most convincing bid for the state championship in football history.
