After two weeks of practicing with the Minneota football team, with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over their heads, players from Lincoln HI are officially part of the Vikings.
On Wednesday, Minnesota State High School League Executive Director Dave Stead informed both Minneota and Lincoln HI that Lincoln HI's players will be eligible to play with the Vikings in the 2011 season.
Waiting for the final ruling, the two teams continued to practice, and Minneota head coach Chad Johnston was relieved to know the time and effort spent to get the former Rebel players up to speed will be put to good use this season.
