Football
The football team (2–2) fell to the Northwest Jaguars (3–1) Friday, opening up the game effectively but failing to keep up the pace in the 42–13 defeat.

Quarterback Matt Clayton and wide receiver Jack McClelland both threw for over 100 yards on the day and wide receiver Carter Hughes hauled in three receptions for 83 yards. Defensive back Owen Roegge led the defense with 13 tackles.
The Vikings go back on the road this Friday to face the Churchill Bulldogs (0–4).
