The waiting game

There were plenty of tears at South Iredell on Wednesday after the Vikings lost 3-1 to conference leader East Lincoln.

Tears from the seniors, who lost on Senior Night, and tears from head coach Linda Rogers who said goodbye to her five seniors that she's coached for four years.

Technically, the Vikings have one more game remaining - a tilt today against Lake Norman, which players and coaches both admitted would be a loss, resulting in an 8-7-2 overall record.

East Lincoln has already clinched the conference's lone berth, but the Vikings should get a wild card.

They deserve it, too. They've played good county 3A teams and finished second place in the conference.

Senior Night was a time to say goodbye to the elder Vikings.

But they deserve to play in the postseason.
