Emotional celebration/Stats included

What have we just done? Lizzy Gillingham was beside herself with tears, then elation as it dawned on the Vikings they'd come all the way back from a 19-5 deficit to beat Canby in the third game, 27-25.

Hugging Gillingham were setter Morgan Kockelman and Sydney Larson.

The Vikings win over Canby gave them the Section 3A North crown. They will face Tracy-Milroy-Balaton at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at SMSU.
