With this school year coming to an end, we start turning our heads towards August and the start of next year. August marks the start of our fall sports season. Our Varsity football team had a great spring in the weight room and are preparing themselves each and every day to build on their TAPPS 6A Independent State Championship game appearance they earned last year.

Coach KB is very excited for the upcoming season, but remains focused on all that needs to be done before then to be ready for the challenges that await his team.

The 8th grade football team ended their season in dramatic fashion by scoring 19 unanswered points in the second half to defeat the Presbyterian Panthers 19-6 in the HJPC Division II 3rd place bowl game. The Vikings defense was dominant after giving up an early score and the offense was unstoppable behind quarterback Channing D, running back Joel C, and wide receiver Andrew D. Coach DeBakey and Coach Brown would like to thank the entire team for their amazing effort at practice and their willingness to be coachable all season. This group of 8th graders have laid a great foundation for next year’s team as the Viking middle school football program continues to grow and improve. We are already looking forward to next season. Go Vikings!

The Village Vikings Football team won their third straight game Friday night, moving them into second place of the TAPPS Independent standings. It was a total team effort, as numerous Vikings made big plays in the 40-0 win! The Vikings have a big road game this Friday, as the team travels to Royal High School. The game is against a 4-A public school, which means that it is worth five wild card playoff points. If the Vikings can win their fourth straight game, they will be in a terrific position to earn a TAPPS Independent Playoff berth. We need all of Vikings Nation to make their way to Royal High School for the 7:30PM kickoff on Friday night. Go Vikings!

The 8th grade football team is off to a tough 0-4 start at the midway point in the season. Despite the record, the team lost their first two games by a combined total of four points and has had to battle injuries to key players over the last two weeks. Some notable performers for the Vikings have been RB Joel C., WR Ansh B., OL/DL Steven D., and RB/QB Tristan A. The Vikings will begin to play their HJPC Division II schedule as they hope to begin a run to the playoffs. Their last four games include Lutheran South, AOS, Presbyterian, and River Oaks Baptist. Come out and support the Vikings as they finish out the season!

Our Village Vikings Football team earned an important 34-22 road win on Friday Night, at St. Joseph Catholic. The Vikings were in control throughout the game, but could not pull away from the Eagles. Junior Max P came up big in the final quarter, recording an interception, as well as forcing an Eagles fumble. Senior running back, Khalil M, was dominant. He carried the ball 28 times, for 220 yards, and 4 TDs. The Vikings offense had their best game of 2016, as Kaelin R also passed for 154 yards, including a long touchdown pass to Jeremy S. Below are some highlights from Friday Night’s win.
