Viking junior quarterback Paul Dorr had a big day, scoring three touchdown and intercepting two passes.
Silver Bay’s Jacob Carpenter got the Mariners on the scoreboard early with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Jake Stadler. Elijah Blanck’s extra point kick was good, and the Mariners were up 7-0.
The Vikings responded in the second quarter when Paul Dorr ran in from two yards to make it 7-6. The Vikings two-point conversion run failed, but the Vikings were able to score again in the second quarter on a one-yard run by Dorr to make it 12-7. Once again, the two-point conversion play—this time a pass— failed and the Vikings went into halftime up 12-7.
Viking running back Ray Dressely put the Vikings on the scoreboard in the third quarter on a nifty eight-yard touchdown run and the Vikings led 18-7. Once again the two-point conversion try failed.
During fourth quarter play the Mariners scored a touchdown on a nine-yard scamper by Jacob Carpenter and once again Elijah Blanck’s extra point kick was good.
Now holding a narrow 16-14 lead, the Vikings marched down the field and once again Paul Dorr ran for a touchdown, this time from six yards out.
