The Vikings, who went 11-3 in the regular season, secured the title with a 2-point conversion in overtime at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach.
A Viking Victory Parade featuring PV players, cheerleaders and coaches was scheduled to take place in downtown Chico on Wednesday afternoon, after the CN&R went to press.
