Vikings finish season 5-2; lock up first place in 3A
The Marion Graham Falcons were the first team to score in Thursday’s regular season finale between them and the North Battleford Comprehensive senior Vikings, but that elation didn’t last long.
After the opening field goal by the Falcons, it was almost exclusively the Vikings who found the endzone the rest of the way.
Four first half touchdowns from quarterback Damon Dutton allowed the Vikings to roll to a 42-10 win at home over the Falcons to finish the regular season with a 5-2 record, which — barring a miracle — will lock up first place in the 3A division in the Saskatoon league for North Battleford.
“Unless something really crazy happens…[we’ve] solidified our spot atop 3A,” Vikings head coach Mike Humenny said after the blowout win. “A regular season championship is something to be [proud of] for our guys. We’re pretty happy about that. Something we haven’t done. Just some of these Grade 12s, [it’s] a credit to them.”
