But as captain, he does a tremendous job of keeping the Viking house in order on the court and the begpecâ€" tacled grade 13 athlete is plenty satisfied to play that Especially since after a year down in the valley, Vikâ€" ings so far have experienced clear sailing and sit on top of the Waterioo County hill along with KCI Raiders as the only two undefeated teams in the league. Prior to yesterday‘s acâ€" tion both Raiders and Vikâ€" irgs had unblemished 4â€"0 marks to remain one game up on four other teams. Raiders, who won the CWOSSA title last year, are no doubt accustomed to the position, but the Vikings, who won only two games while losing 12 last year, do not seem bothered by the dizzying heights either. , "It‘s a lot of the same guys, but this is a completeâ€" ly different (Viking) ballâ€" club this year,"" said Gordon moments after his club had dismissed the rookieâ€"laden PLYWOOD PARTICLE BOARD MASONITE PINE LUMBER, etc ’ ANY SIZE CUT TO SIZE Guest Speaker HON.

Looking at their wins thus far, Vikings have had what might be described as a rather lightâ€"schedule, with three of the victories comâ€" ing against Galt, Elmira, and Grand River who have only one win among them in 12 contests. But Vikings have also served notice they will back away from no one as they blasted the strong Cameron Gaels by 22 points just before Christmas and then finished third in the hoâ€" liday tournament at York University. ~ ‘"Fred‘s just unreal, did you see the way he dominat: ed out there?" said Gordon. ‘*And his brother Ben: gives us someone we don‘t have to ‘"Yes I was really surâ€" prised we beat Cameron by 22, Fwas expecting it to be a very close ballgame," said Viking coach John Zdrahal. ‘‘"Overall our defence has been just super but I‘m lookâ€" ing for a little team offence.
