LEAVITTSBURG, OH – The crisp autumn air carried the excitement of Friday night lights as the LaBrae Vikings prepared to face off against the Campbell Memorial Red Devils. The stands were filled with passionate fans, and the anticipation was palpable as the teams took the field.

The game began with a bang as the LaBrae Vikings swiftly asserted their dominance. Just minutes into the first quarter, running back Davin Derry, a true force on the field, broke free from the line of scrimmage. With impeccable speed and agility, he dashed 22 yards for a breathtaking touchdown. The crowd erupted in cheers as Max Young’s extra point sailed through the uprights, giving the Vikings an early 7-0 lead with 9:28 left in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, LaBrae continued to build on their lead. Max Young, the team’s kicker, showcased his skills with a remarkable 35-yard field goal, extending the Vikings’ lead to 10-0 with 10:51 remaining in the second quarter. The crowd’s enthusiasm grew with each successful play.

Then, the Vikings demonstrated their prowess in the passing game. Quarterback Kenny Yoho connected with wide receiver Jay McGarry on a 54-yard touchdown pass. While the extra point attempt was unsuccessful, the Vikings still led 16-0 with 7:24 left in the second quarter. The chemistry between Yoho and McGarry was undeniable, leaving the Red Devils struggling to contain LaBrae’s aerial assault.

As the second quarter wound down, Davin Derry struck again. This time, he showcased his versatility by breaking through the Red Devils’ defense and sprinting 24 yards to the end zone. With Max Young’s PAT, the Vikings now held a commanding 23-0 lead, and there was only 1:27 left in the second quarter.

The Vikings weren’t finished yet. They continued to pour on the points, and this time, it was Derry once more. With just over a minute left in the second quarter, he bulldozed his way into the end zone with a powerful 1-yard run. Max Young’s trusty leg sent the extra point right through the uprights, bringing the score to 30-0 with just 1:10 left in the second quarter. The Red Devils were left reeling, struggling to find an answer to LaBrae’s relentless offensive onslaught.

In the fourth quarter, the Vikings, now firmly in control of the game, decided to put the exclamation point on their victory. Gabe Green, another key player in their arsenal, powered through the Red Devils’ defense with a 4-yard touchdown run. Max Young’s extra point was on point yet again, and the scoreboard read 37-0 with just 5:09 left in the game.

The final whistle blew, and the LaBrae Vikings emerged as the undisputed victors. The 37-0 win was a testament to their exceptional teamwork, skill, and determination.
