The first game on a 13 yard rush on the first drive. The second game off a 3 yard rush on the second drive. And the third came from a 23 yard rush on the third drive.

The 2nd quarter saw the leg showcase of Gage Overbey as he knocked in a 46 yard field goal to make it 22-0. On the next defensive stand, it was Brock Derf who picked up a Tipton fumble and took it to the house for the 30 yard score to make it 29-0 following the PAT. Nate Parker decided to add some variety to his scoring by taking a 27 yard pass from Cody Eastgate to the endzone to make it 36-0. Overbey put in another field goal, this time from 33 yards to give the Vikings a 39-0 lead at halftime and the running clock in the second half.
It only took one play at the start of the 3rd quarter for Nate Parker to score another touchdown, this time on a 67 yard run to make it 46-0 following the Overbey PAT. The younger defense held tough throughout the second half to keep the Blue Devils scoreless. Valley however was not done scoring as Nate Engstrand found his way into the endzone off a 7 yard run to give Valley their final score followed up by the Overbey PAT, making the final score 53-0.
