After failing to move, Tony Dur- ham's field goal attempt was wide on a fourth and three sit- uation from the 10 yard line. The Vikings moved close again, but could not score and with 2:50 remaining, Ron En- clade's field goal was good and the Vikes led 3-0. Bobby Mikel then scored from 1 yard out giving the Vikings a 10-0 lead at the quarter. The rest of the half was scoreless as the teams matched defenses in the second quarter. Greg Worley breaks lose for yardage. Warren Gould, Frank Ceravolo, and Cliff Lewis stop the Tiger offense. Bobby Mikel passes on offense. The Tigers got on the board in the third quarter as a Bobby Mikel pass was intercepted and returned for a 26 yard TD. The PAT was unsuccessful, cutting the Vikings lead to 10- 6. The Vikings then put to- gether a 70 yard drive, but the drive stalled at the Pensacola 10 as a Viking fumble was re- covered, by Pensacola.

Praying Challis Poifm The Vikings avenged a bitter 1972 defeat at the hands of Bay High School by blanking the Tornadoes 14-0 on a damp muggy night in Fort Walton Beach. The hard-hitting Viking de- fense held the Tornadoes to a total of 50 yards offensively and only 4 first downs as Bay's offense never made a se- rious scoring bid. When the Vikings found their running game stymied, they went to the pass for two touchdowns that provided the Vikings with their winning margin. Quarterback Bobby Mikel hit split end Ron En- clade for 38 yards and a TD in the second quarter and then hit tight end Alan Winslette from 5 yards out in the fourth quarter for the final TD. Ron Enclade successfully con- verted both points after touchdowns. The game was a gruesome de- fensive battle with the kicking game and a big play offense turning the struggle into a hard earned victory for the Vikings. No way baby, this one's mine! The Viking defense pulls in for the tackle. 128!Bay

De 6725106 Ejjbw, Ojf67'Z5j1!6 Charge The Big Red Machine scored 21 points in the first half and then coasted to their 5th straight win of the year over the Woodham Titans. Bobby Mikel got the Vikes on the board in the first quarter as he hit Ron Enclade with a 18 yard scoring pass. A few plays later Mikel again hit Enclade with a 30 yard pass for a TD and 13-0 Viking lead. In the second quarter, Randy Timm capped a 60 yard drive by going over from the three yard line. Mikel again hit En- clade for a two point con- version to put the Big Red in front 21-0. The Vikings scored their final TD of the night when junior Mike Churillo capped a 76 yard march by scoring from the two. Enclade kicked the PAT for the final point in a 28- 0 Viking victory. Again, a strong defense that limited the Titans to less than a 100 yards of total offense and a Viking offense that showed ability to drive the football provided the winning edge. Tony Durham carries the ball for the Vikings. Mike Churillo is met with Woodham white. Bobby Mikel charges into open field. 130!Woodham
