All three of the CFVA teams are so close in abilities that anyone of them could have won. I personally favor the Vikings. I think they will rebound from this and go far in the State Playoffs. They have a very talented team and I am sure Coach Fish and the Lady Vikings are planning their strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if two of the teams from the CFVA meet again. Go Lady Vikings! I am pulling for you from Afghanistan – I hope you can hear me cheer!
