In the 36 years of the program, the team's record is 488 wins-120 losses and 53 ties which is a win percentage of .780.  In the Philadelphia Catholic League (PCL) the Vikings record is 326 wins-38 losses and 43 ties which is a winning percentage of .856. The Vikings have had 14 undefeated PCL seasons and 6 seasons undefeated overall. They have never lost to 7 of the 11 PCL teams and have never missed the playoffs.

In the PCL playoffs they have 60 wins and 21 losses and have won the most Philadelphia Catholic League Championships (14)  of any school and have appeared in the finals 27 times. 

The record against non PCL teams is 101 wins-59 losses and 10 ties. Since they entered the PIAA in 2007, they have appeared in the State tournament 7 times claiming 7 District 12 Championships and appearing in the state finals twice.
