The Vale and Burns football teams battled it out all season, ending the year one/two in the 3A Special District 6 (commonly known as the Eastern Oregon League) standings. Even after playing to an overtime win by the Vikings, the battle continued as the district coaches gathered to name the all-league team on Monday, Nov. 4.
On the offense side of the ball, Vale senior Kase Schaffeld and Burns junior Jack Wright split the award for player of the year. The split again took place on defense with Viking senior Jake DeVos sharing the award for player of the year with Hilander senior Easten Kemper.
The Vikings swept the coaching awards with Jeff Aldred taking the head coaching award and Nate Aldred picking up the award for assistant.
