Vikings drop first game of season to Falcons
All along, Vikings head coach Mike Humenny knew the last half of the season was going to be significantly more difficult than the first half.
When his team began 2016 with three straight wins, he reiterated that point.
On Thursday afternoon, it became clear why, as the second half of the Vikings season officially began with a 30-7 loss to the Marian Graham Falcons in Saskatoon.
“At the end of the day, we just didn’t play as physical as we needed to, especially in the first half,” Vikings head coach Mike Humenny said in a phone interview on Thursday. “We just weren’t on today physically, as well as mentally at times, and it really showed. Marion Graham really took advantage of that.”
