Griffin, a senior who excelled in three sports for the Vikings, was a easy selection due to his unstoppable athleticism. He recently won the state championship in track and will be headed to Southern University in Baton Rouge to play football soon.

Both Hopson and Griffin exemplified what it means to be a true Viking, sticking with their teams even through tough battles, and the future looks bright for the two talented student-athletes.
