Season outlook: The Vikings have a solid group of veterans players back. Smith likes the way the team is learning to move off the ball and create offense. The defense is looking solid in front of a veteran goalie in Bickford. With returning talent in many positions, Oxford Hills hopes to improve upon last year.
