On Friday 7/8/16 the Vikings ran the table and won all three pool games by an impressive 20 point per game average margin of victory. The first game against RR Cedar Ridge was tight in the first half but the Vikings pulled away to win 42-21. In game two the Vikes shut out the El Paso Eastlake team 28-0. The final game was against a very talented Houston Richmond Foster team and again the Vikes won going away this time by a 40-22 margin.
On Saturday though the Vikes did not play as crisply as a team in the first game of the Championship Bracket and fell to a good College Station team 39-27. After a slow start the Vikes took the lead back 27-26 but could not close the deal and finished the tournament 3-1. The 2016 State Tournament was won by the Woodlands 32-26 over Dickinson.
The season record of 16-1 was the highest winning percentage in program history at 94%. The Vikes beat 9 of 10 state qualifiers they played and did not lose a regular season game. Congratulations to everyone involved in the program for a very successful season.
Many thanks to our team parents (led by Shannon and Lysandra), sponsors and the Lamar football staff for the consistent support. Big kudos to the assistant coaches (Elias, Steve, Lawrence, Harrell, Julian, Chris, Barry, Spencer, Nic and Darrian) for all you work this season!
