The Nechako Valley Vikings are PG Bowl champions. The Vikings played winning football, pounding the rock behind their stellar offensive line and stiffling defence on their way to a 24-6 win over the College Heights Cougars.
"It was a great team win. The boys came out ready and played a very sound Football Game," said Vikings head coach Sheldon Brown.
Ryder Lybbert followed his dominant offensive line for two rushing scores on the day. Quarterback Linden Buchanan stood tall in the pocket and found his targets. Buchanan connected with running back Charles Cuesta on a screen pass for the Vikings' lone major through the air.
As we all know, defences win championships. As great as the Vikings' offence play was, their defence was even better. Brown had high praise for his defence postgame.
"Our Defence was fantastic and pitched a shutout. (The only score was a kick return TD) Our DL led by Gaje McKee and Brayten Gould made some great plays and terrorized the Cougars' backfield all game long."
"LBs Myer Himmelright and Ivan Legebokoff made some amazing plays, including 2 huge Interceptions by Legebokoff. Overall, it was a great team effort and the boys are pumped to be Northern Champs."
The Vikings will enjoy this one for the rest of the weekend, but will quickly shift their focus to preparing for their quarter-final matchup against the number one-ranked Vernon Panthers.
