     VALLEY  HIGH  SCHOOL MASCOT: Ever heard of  the  Valley  High
     School  Cougars?  Maybe the Valley Panthers? Valley  Falcons?
     Valley  Eagles? All were names that were made the final  list

     But  in  the  end, there could be only one,  and  the  Valley
     Vikings  were born in 1967. Read more interesting history  at
     Our Local Heritage at above site.
