Vikings lose to Martensville in semifinal

It was a tough game for the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings football team as their season came to an end after losing 28-7 to Martensville in the league semifinal on Friday, Oct. 18.

Head Coach of the NBCHS Football team, Shaun Webster said the team came out to a great start but lost momentum as the game went on.

“Our first drive looked really good, and we did everything just like we practiced hard on and it worked out big for us at the start of the game. We played good in the beginning but the turning point in the game for us was when we were third and like half a yard to go to get in the endzone and we couldn’t score, and the other team basically marched it 99 yards the other way and got a touchdown.”

The Vikings finished 2-2 on the regular season for their league, getting wins over PA St. Mary and Lloydminster Comp., while having a close game against Martensville the week prior to the playoff and also against number one team, PA Carlton, earlier on in the season.
