POULSBO — The North Kitsap Vikings defeated the Port Angeles Roughriders 48-6 on their last home game before playoffs, Oct. 23.

A series of coordinated plays from the Vikings kept them way out front. Right out of the gate, a reverse pass was completed by North in the first quarter. In the second, North RB Zack Clark ran 47 yards for another touchdown. A penalty was added for the frustrated Roughriders for unnecessary roughness. At halftime, the score was 35-0.

At the half, a special presentation was made by North Kitsap High School. NKHS football, boys tennis, girls soccer and volleyball players, as well as athletic medicine and cheerleaders, donated $4,938.55 to the Kathleen Sutton Fund. Proceeds provide assistance for women with cancer in Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap and Mason counties. At the end of the marching band presentation, senior band members and their parents were recognized and celebrated for their upcoming graduation.

When the game resumed, the Vikings came in strong over the Roughriders. North ended the third quarter with a 41-0 lead. The Roughriders scored in the fourth quarter and the final score was 48-6.
