Vikings Win!


On Saturday the 3rd grade Viking team rolled to their first win. By ‘rolled’ I mean stomped, dominated and killed, the way Vikings do.
Playing in the vast field at Willow Creek in Lehi, the Vikings took charge and never let up against their comrades from PG, also Vikings. Things got off to a great start with Nic Slater causing a fumble on the opening play. Danny Severe kept a drive going by catching a 10 yard pass before being tackled. Led by veteran Viking QB, Jaxon Brown, who contributed two running touchdowns of his own, the 3rd grade squad made the final score 33-7. Running back, Anthony Ridge scrambled around defender after defender for what seemed like a 99 yard run and wound up in the end zone allowing opportunity for crazed fans/parents to do their thing along the sidelines. Phenom Josh Kleinman couldn't resist getting in on some action of his own and ran for two touchdowns to add to the tally.

Coaches remarked about the tremendous job the defense did in shutting down PG’s offense. Other than one fluke run that resulted in their only score, the rival Vikings could not muster even a first down against Lindon's "Tenacious D"!

Here’s looking forward to an awesome season!!!!
