Winning has become a way of life at Princeton under head coach Andre Parker. The school has averaged more than 10 victories a season in his five years at the helm. What has eluded the Vikings is a regional championship which the program has not attained since 1990. This squad has all the talent and is more capable of finally turning the tides of title futility to fortuity.
The schedule is tough out of the gate for a team that has a lot of parts trying to gel. Vike Nation fans don’t fret a rocky and awkward start. By the time the regular season ends, expect Princeton to be playing its best football and very much a legit contender to hoist the Division I, Region 4 trophy.
