One more shout out to this group of @FBvikingstrong Seniors as they close another chapter of their lives today. These men are walking across the stage at graduation. Between all of their accomplishments on & off the field… from scholarships, GPA, awards, school records, playoff appearances, playoff victories to a District Championship and Regional Final …saying we are proud of them is an understatement. Each of them will take different paths but the bonds will keep them together for a lifetime. They created memories that will always be remembered. There is no doubt this group will be successful in life. Congratulations to the class of 2026 ! Of course you are always welcome back ! #Viking4Life #VikingFamily #VikingStrong #classof2026

Congratulations to @Ryan_stern_2026 and Brennen Heimerle on earning @FBvikingstrong “Most Improved” honors. Brennen made one of the toughest transitions in football — moving from fullback to offensive line. Despite being undersized, he never made excuses. He committed himself to mastering the fundamentals, becoming technically sound, and playing with toughness and consistency every snap. His growth this season is a direct result of his work ethic and attention to detail. Ryan came to Valley still searching for where he fit, but once he found his home at center, he fully embraced it. From learning the position to refining his craft every day, Ryan showed steady growth, leadership, and a relentless commitment to getting better. His progress set the tone for the entire offensive line. Both of these young men represent what “Most Improved” truly means — dedication, humility, and a willingness to do whatever the team needs. Proud of you both. #vikingstrong #mostimproved
