With three quarterback battles currently going on across the league, the outcome in 2023 is unpredictable.The Vikings aren’t far from their 2021 CIF Southern Section Division 5 title, but they want to get back on top of the Foothill League after finishing in a three-way tie for third place last season.
Senior Aidan Hicks provides support on offense at running back as the quarterback battle between senior Jackson Adkins and sophomore Brady Bretthauer continues. Jackson is a tall lefty who was a candidate for the starting job last season before hurting his elbow. Bretthauer got plenty of game experience with a JV team that went 10-0 last season.

In addition to the varsity team, the JV team has roughly 30 players and the freshman team has about 35 players., but their outlook is not dismal.
