Mike Nelsen might well have been talking about the entire Mazama athletic programs in the early 1990s, a time that could well be called the “Golden Era of Viking athletics” at the school. “Coming to Mazama was a huge privilege,” Nelsen said as shared thoughts at the school’s second Hall of Fame induction dinner Saturday at Mike’s Fieldhouse at Steen Sports Park. kAm“(6 925 DA64:2= <:5D[ H96E96C E96J H6C6 @FE 7@C DA@CED @C ?@E] (6 ;FDE 925 8C62E <:5D] tG6? :?
