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.
The Vikings tied it 6-6 after a 7-yard TD pass from Jack Yeoman to Justin Alpert late in the second quarter. They took a 14-6 lead midway through the third after a botched Fort Loramie punt attempt set up a short drive that ended with a 10-yard TD pass from Yeoman to Harmon Gouhin.
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.
