Vikings celebrate championship season at annual football banquet
There was lots to celebrate for the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings junior and senior football teams on Monday night at their annual banquet.
The senior team won their first provincial championship since 1995 and the junior team went undefeated (although they don’t officially keep track of wins and losses or points).
With a total of 25 graduating Grade 12s, which is more than half the team, head coach Mike Humenny afterwards talked about the lasting impression the group will leave on him.
“Just the overall sense of how unselfish they were and just a team-first attitude…a tremendous group,” Humenny said, who won a provincial championship with the Vikings as a player when he was in Grade 10. “I’ve come to know the parents in a lot of ways and I think these kids are parented awesome. Aside from their abilities on the field, just how good these guys are daily as citizens in this high school and in the community.”
