The defense, led by Percy Walters and Tyler Newkirk, pitches its first shutout of the season and the offense scores on nine straight drives in the team's second straight game with 60+ points. Bryce Gray throws four touchdowns, including two to Kendric Pryor, as the team battles a weather delay, constant rain in the first half and a power outage at halftime to improve to 2-0 in conference play.
Week 5: @ Lockport (W, 48-0)
The Vikings score 28 points in the second quarter to shake off a slow start, with quarterback Bryce Gray throwing for 401 yards and four touchdowns in the blowout win.
