Football

Helmed by seventh-year Head Coach Brett Peabody, the Vikings had an overall record of 4-6 and a conference record of 1-4. The highlight of the season included the signing of nine-year old Lakewood resident, Caleb Bradfield. The Vikings football team participated in the national non-profit organization, Team Impact. This organization connects children facing serious and chronic illnesses with college athletic teams, forming life-long friendships and experiences the children will never forget. During this event, fighter and cancer survivor Caleb Bradfield became an official team member of the Long Beach City College (LBCC) Vikings. At the conclusion of the season, the LBCC football team saw 12 athletes receive Southern California Football Association National Division All-Northern League post-season honors and three honorable mentions.
