VIKING FOOTBALL NEWS AND DOINGS “VFND”
Issue # 3
By Jim Poynter, 2008 Booster Club President

Dear Fellow Viking Fan,
Viking Spring Football is well underway. I
have been out to watch the Vikes practice several times and am
impressed with the effort and intensity. This is the best time
of the year to “get up close and personal” to watch your Vikes
get ready for the 2008 season!
Some items of note this month:
-
The Viking golf tournament is
Monday May 5th! As of today we have over 60
golfers participating. EVEN IF YOU CANNOT PLAY GOLF, WE WANT
YOU TO COME OUT FOR THE SILENT AUCTION WHICH WILL BEGIN
ABOUT 6:00PM AND TO HEAR COACH PEACH TALK ABOUT SPRING BALL
AND THE UPCOMING SEASON! Just click on the golf tournament
tab above for directions to Diamond Oaks CC or call Marla
Thomas at 817-795-1758.
- The Blue & Gold Spring Game is
scheduled to kick off at 2:00pm on Friday May 16th.
This is in the middle of the work day for most folks but if
you can swing it, take the afternoon off and come out and
watch YOUR LAMAR VIKINGS! Coach Peach will have the team
scrimmage on Cravens Field (game field) and this will be
your last chance to see the Vikes before the next scrimmage
three months later on August 16th.
- On your way in to the Spring Game,
stop by the Viking Club table and browse a bit before the
scrimmage. Some of our new “Viking wear” will be on sale
and you will definitely want to get your gold “rally towel
for next year’s games. We are going to “Go for the Gold” for
our home games next year! You can also join the VIKING CLUB
and order your copy of THE HISTORY OF LAMAR VIKINGS
FOOTBALL.
- The Viking 7 on 7 Teams get underway
with their first tournament on May 17th at Keller
High School. If you are interested in how we fare this year
in 7 on 7 just go to
www.lamarvikings7on7.com
- Plans for Coach Peach and Coach Ward’s
300th victory celebration are underway. As you
may know by now, after a careful recount, Coach Peach
determined the Vikings have already won 299 games. This
makes the opening game at Cravens vs. Keller Fossil Ridge
all the more meaningful. If you have not gone down to the
AISD office and ordered your season tickets for next season,
now is the time to do so.
- Pictures from prior seasons are really
starting to roll in now for THE HISTORY OF LAMAR VIKINGS
FOOTBALL. It is not too late to submit pictures; just go to
www.lamarlegends.com for
instructions or drop me an email.
Remember, we can sure use your help in any
number of ways. Just give me a call or email me and we will get
you involved!
GO VIKES!
