“Tonight was Viking weather and our Niles Vikings played tough,” coach Josh Bourne said. “As quirky and interesting as this team has been all season, the one thing that we have always said and complimented them on was that they are tough and that they fight.

“Our offensive line is a group that got thrown together this year with many different players of all ages. We have been very critical of them all season and, frankly, the fact that they have not worked alongside one another for multiple years there were many trust issues that effected our ability to move the football. That was not the case tonight. Our offensive line was the key to the game.”

Bourne was also pleased with the defensive effort.

“Tonight, in our final game, the defense brought it the way they had early and often this year,” he said.
