Vikings will play with chip on their shoulders

Friday night football is just about here and I'll get my first taste of local prep football at Valders on Friday night.
This will be an interesting year for the Vikings and I'll be monitoring them closely. Valders is joining the Olympian-Packerland Small Conference, which means higher travel costs and upgraded competition.
However, Valders should be able to whether the storm. The Vikings will play powerhouses like Wrightstown and Kewaunee, but the players seem up for the challenge.
Valders went to the playoffs again last year, but did lose some valuable seniors. But according to its leader, quarterback Bob Linzmeier, missing the playoffs is not an option.
When a young team is faced with a challenging road ahead of them, that's the type of leadership it needs.
Can the Vikings extend their playoff streak to nine-consecutive years?
Stay tuned.
