The North Boone/ Marengo game started on Friday night with the parade of the Marengo Homecoming floats. The final float read "Smoke the Vikings". But that's not what happened when the Marengo Indians hosted the North Boone Vikings September 28th at 7:30 pm for their Homecoming game. This nail biting 31 to 27 Viking Victory kept fans on the edge of their seats throughout the entire game.

With a 3rd and 12 at their own 34 yard line wide receiver number 22, Andrew Lorence completed a 23 yard pass reception launching the Vikings into Indian Territory. With a 1st and 10 at the Indians 42 yard line, receiver number 7 Angelo Johnson rushed 42 yards for the first Viking touchdown of the game giving the Vikes a 6 to 0 lead. Late in the quarter, the Indians answered back with a touchdown of their own and a field goal to take the lead ending the first quarter with a score of 7 to 6, Indians.

Late in second quarter, Indians receiver Seth Damisch completed a 26 yard pass reception for another Indian touchdown. With a successful extra point attempt the Indians put 7 more on the board making it 14 to 6 Indians lead with 3:23 left in the quarter. On their next possession, the Vikings got busy. With a 1st and 10 at the Indian 11 yard line, quarterback Alexander Beck ran the ball 9 yards for a second Viking touchdown ending the first half with a score of 14 to 12, Indians.

Third quarter started out with a Vikings kick-off and Indians receiving. Starting at the Vikings 41 yard line, the Indians defensive team moved the ball steadily down field. With a 4th and 5 at the Vikings 6 yard line, receiver Scott Donley of the Indians rushed 7 yards for another successful touchdown giving them a 21 to 12 lead on the Vikings. Again with their next possession, Indians receiver Cody Lewis Hoch rushed 8 yards for yet another Indians touchdown for a 27 to 12 lead over the Vikings. The determined Viking offense was not about to take this lying down as wide receiver number 23 Kelly Carmody completed a 25 yard pass reception scoring a Viking touchdown ending third quarter with a score of 27 to 19, Indians.

Early in the fourth quarter the Vikings turn up the heat a little more. With their first possession, the Vikings made their way down to the Indian 2 yard line and Beck scored another Viking touchdown making the score 27 to 25, Indians. On their next possession, wide receiver number 33 Tyler Bielski ran the ball 65 yards for Viking touchdown number five giving them a 31 to 27 lead with 5:33 on the clock.
