I II is what football is all about, and the 1987 football season was filled with exactly that. The Vikings fought to the state playoffs with a 7-1 conference record. Seniors who led their team to state were Doug Ba- ker, Cruz Garcia, Rick Gerard, Duke Langley, Tim Patterson, Jim Schell, Chris Stone, and Matt Thompson. Together, with their team and coaches, they made an action-packed season that no one will soon forget. At right, Brian Sheller stops Wahtonka ball carrier at the 42 yard line on third down.
