Oct. 14 vs. Fannin County

This will be the third subregion game for the Vikings, as it was last year when they lost their first 8-AA North game, 20-7 to the Rebels on the road.

If the Vikings can repeat last year’s string of wins over Rabun County and Union County to start out their subregion schedule, beating Fannin County will clinch them a winning subregion record for the first time since 2006.
