Capping off of a great year both as a team for the Vikings and as an individual, Tim Griffin was named the Offensive Player of the Year in District 11, as well as being named First team All-District and First team All-Conference. Griffin finished the season the all time PHS goal scorer (93), holding the single season record (37) and overall points records as well. This award is voted on by the District 11 coaches.

The Vikings moved Districts this year into District 11, joining Glendale (who finished 2nd in the state tournament), Kickapoo (final four last year), Ozark, Nixa, and Branson (first year program). Deemed the “District of Death,” Griffin had a lot of competition, but was voted by the District 11 coaches for Offensive Player of the Year.
