Fort Loramie scored on the game’s opening possession when Will Holland ran in from 2 yards out. The extra point was missed, but the Redskins led 6-0.

Fort Loramie responded with a long drive that was capped by a 14-yard TD reception by Holland, which cut the deficit to 14-12 after a failed two-point conversion.
But the Vikings scored less than two minutes later on a 13-yard run by Alpert to take a 21-12 lead early in the fourth, then added another TD on a 15-yard run by Greyson Thomas late in the quarter.
