Princeton (9-3 in 2022) returns several key players as its opens the season at Elyria Aug. 18.

"I think that's the game they wanted to do," Parker said. "I think when you get to travel it adds a little excitement when you go play a team like Elyria that has a lot of history. It adds a little more excitement."

The Vikings had 20 new starters during Week 1 of the 2022 season so the team added plenty of experience entering this year.

"This year we're a different team," Parker said. "We're a more experienced team. We think we're a little deeper."

The Vikings are 20-5 over the past two seasons under the leadership of Parker, who enters his third season in the Division I Greater Miami Conference program.

Princeton senior safety Chaz Cole, senior linebacker Travis Lawrence and senior offensive lineman Jaylen Eberhart joined the conversation Tuesday afternoon on the podcast.
