Today the Vikings went 3-0 in pool play to finish the regular season 15-4. I am so proud of our kids for the way they compete!
I'm also very proud of their sportsmanship and we had a "moment" today that I want to share.
In the first game we played a team from Mission, TX which is in the McAllen area of far south Texas. They drove 550 miles (10 hours) EACH WAY just to try and qualify. The Vikes beat them but our respect for them really blossomed during the game. Even though they lost to us it does not count in pool play as we had already qualified. So Mission bounces back and wins the pool! Our Vikes went straight over to the Mission kids and high five'd them and wished them success in the upcoming qualifying round of play. We took a picture of both teams together as a show of unity and good luck to them. Well they WON the qualifying round game so Mission's drive was worth it! As a Coach this "bonding" with a competitor team out of mutual respect was a moment I will never forget. VFND.
Coach Poynter
This Saturday (6/24) from 12-2 pm we will be holding a Viking Alumni 7 on 7 game at LHS. Great chance to reconnect with former teammates and show us you've still "got it"

On Friday 7/8/16 the Vikings ran the table and won all three pool games by an impressive 20 point per game average margin of victory. The first game against RR Cedar Ridge was tight in the first half but the Vikings pulled away to win 42-21. In game two the Vikes shut out the El Paso Eastlake team 28-0. The final game was against a very talented Houston Richmond Foster team and again the Vikes won going away this time by a 40-22 margin.
On Saturday though the Vikes did not play as crisply as a team in the first game of the Championship Bracket and fell to a good College Station team 39-27. After a slow start the Vikes took the lead back 27-26 but could not close the deal and finished the tournament 3-1. The 2016 State Tournament was won by the Woodlands 32-26 over Dickinson.
The season record of 16-1 was the highest winning percentage in program history at 94%. The Vikes beat 9 of 10 state qualifiers they played and did not lose a regular season game. Congratulations to everyone involved in the program for a very successful season.
Many thanks to our team parents (led by Shannon and Lysandra), sponsors and the Lamar football staff for the consistent support. Big kudos to the assistant coaches (Elias, Steve, Lawrence, Harrell, Julian, Chris, Barry, Spencer, Nic and Darrian) for all you work this season!
Lamar's season ends with a 39-27 defeat to College Station. Vikings finish the 7-on-7 season with a 16-1 record

Lamar 7-on-7 Heads to State Tournament The Lamar Vikings 7-on-7 team heads down to College Station on Thursday for the State 7-on-7 Tournament over the weekend. Lamar is the only program to qualify for the state tournament in all 19 years of its existence. We asked Head Coach Jim Poynter a few questions about this year’s team and his 14…
The Vikes will open pool play on Field 4 at Veteran's Park in College Station next Friday July 8th at 1:00 pm. The schedule is:
1:00 pm LAMAR vs RR Vista Ridge
3:00 pm LAMAR vs. El Paso Eastlake
5:00 pm LAMAR vs. Richmond
This is a very good pool and we will have to play at our best to advance to the Championship Bracket Play on Saturday.
A couple of interesting items to note-of the 13 state qualifying games we played this summer, 6 were against teams that eventually qualified for the State Tournament. We beat all 6 teams by an average margin (15 points) which is the same margin of victory in all 13 of our wins. That is a good sign that we "do not play up or down to our competition" but concentrate on playing to our ability. Over the last 4 years the average points per game by the eventual state champions was 41 ppg while allowing about 22 points per game. We are slightly under the 41 ppg offensively but right on the 22 ppg allowed as defensive team. The message to our kids is that we need to continue "doing what we do" and good things could happen. There is a copy of the team itinerary attached under the PDF heading on the home page-follow along as we journey through our 19th consecutive state tournament!

Vikes Finish the Regular Season undefeated at 13-0
With the State 7 on 7 tournament only a few weeks away we decided to try to replicate as much as possible the grueling two day event in College Station. To win a state 7 on 7 championship requires winning at least 2 games of 3 on Friday; then winning 5 in a row on Saturday. The heat and quality of competition takes a large physical and mental strain on the competitors from all teams. By putting ourselves through a similar process this past Friday (3 games) and Saturday (3games) in very hot conditions, gave us a good look at how the kids would react to the stress. The Vikes handled the test very well going 6-0 against very solid competition. Not only is this a test for the kids but the coaches and parents as well have to deal with the heat and the logistics (water/food/rides/tents/paperwork) of running a first class program. It was a challenge for everyone and they lived up to the test. We participated in 4 State Qualifying Tournaments over the past month and the Vikes won all 13 games without a loss.
We have now selected the 20 man roster for College Station and will spend the next 5 practices prior to departing for College Station working with these players as units. We will also get them some well deserved rest in this period. Most fans do not realize that the summer off season work-outs for football continue-it is not just 7 on 7 that demands of them in the summer. So getting their legs back prior to leaving for College Station is as important as the work we do on the field.
I will blog again once the Pools have been announced and give you some feel for who we will be playing on Friday July 8th. VFND!
