WC’s defense continued to make big plays as Ronnie Blossom came up with a fumble recovery. With 3:24 left in the half, freshman quarterback Nash Morgan hit Lynch for a 15-yard touchdown pass as they went up 28-0.

Midway through the third quarter, Artman nailed a 39-yard field goal to put the score at 31-0. The Titans would get on the board at the beginning of the fourth on a three yard score.

The final score of the night occurred late in the fourth when Ryan Nelson scrambled to the left side of the field for a 19 yard touchdown. Offensive linemen Spencer Smith, Don Taylor, Beau Davis, Nic Westcott and CJ King all provided good blocking throughout the night.

The Vikings are now 4-2 on the season and they will host Vicksburg on Friday.
