Princeton's football team never felt so close to its field's namesake than when the boys repeated milestones Friday that coach Pat Mancuso's Vikings reached in 1991 with an undefeated season and 1993 with an outright conference championship.

After a somewhat slow start on offense, Princeton overwhelmed Sycamore on both sides of the ball, rolling to a 42-7 win Friday night.

Princeton finished 10-0 in the regular season and won the outright championship of the Greater Miami Conference for the first time since 1993 when the legendary Mancuso was head coach. It was the Vikings' first championship since 2003 when they shared it with Colerain. The 10-0 start is the Vikings' first since 1991.

"I'm really proud of these guys," said Princeton head coach Andre Parker. "From day one in the offseason, the first workout in December, they were together. And I've really enjoyed coaching them. I can't say that enough. The community, the school, the administration, everybody has been awesome."

The Vikings players weren't around during Mancuso's reign, but they enjoy being 10-0.

"The coolest thing about it is when you talk to these kids, they weren't even born," Parker said. "The thing we wanted to do was help them understand the history of Princeton and where they came from, then do our part."

Unofficially, Princeton locked up the No. 2 seed in Division I, Region 8 and is guaranteed home games in the first two rounds of the playoffs.

Sycamore, ninth in the region heading into the weekend, is a lock to play on the road next week in the first round.

"It feels great. All the work we put in. I've never been 10-0 so it feels really great," said senior Jordan Houston, who said the team's biggest strength is its work ethic. "We face adversity, play together, have fun."
