At this writing (Aug. 31), after the first two weeks of their initial season, the Viking flag-footballers look fast, athletic, and versatile
Coach Matt Butcher's first official CIF team continued to execute in their season opener at Point Loma, despite a shellacking that they took absorbed on the scoreboard. A first-year program against a fourth-year one--there should be differences we see.
But quarterback Paige huis, comfortable at her position, continued dealing. The "interchangeable parts" of Butcher's office kept working, against a veteran opponent: end, 12, others remembered their assignments, found their places, and kept going.
More apparent was the Vikings' seasoning and growth in week two. Against Kearny on Tues., Aug. 25, the assistant coach for the Komets, in his halftime feedback to his team, used La Jolla as an example of "this school, this team" who were good and established--only, it is La Jolla's first season competing in CIF!
Nothing shameful here, but Kearny, in its fourth year, couldn't score in the first half. The Vikings, at home, won, 12-8, in a thriller that shows the many good things to come.
