WILLOW WOOD, Ohio (WOUB) – Symmes Valley Vikings keep undefeated season rolling as they blitz the Steubenville Central Catholic Crusaders. Symmes Valley led by Asher Maynard blow out Central Catholic as the 55-0 final score does not even tell the full story. Vikings set their sails to host Shadyside next week.
A pair of punts to start the game off but the elite Symmes Valley offense gets its first score of the night on a Beckem Roth touchdown for the early lead. 7-0 Vikings early.
Vikings keep on rolling as Asher Maynard gets his first score of the night as he punches it in from the goal line to make it 14-0 before the Crusaders could blink.
Vikings two plays into the second quarter find paydirt as Jackson Fields gets the third score of the night. Asher Maynard wanted in on the scoring for the drive as he takes a direct snap and gets into the endzone for a successful two-point try. 22-0 Vikings.
Vikings leading a long drive get into the redzone and give it to who else but Asher Maynard as he carries bodies into the endzone refusing to be denied diving across the goal line for another touchdown in the first half. The point after was no good but the Vikings still have a commanding 28-0.
Vikings get a huge interception and quickly cash in as Jackson Fields scores another touchdown to make it 35-0 half way through the second quarter.
Following a fumbled kick off, the Vikings add another touchdown as Bronx Carpenter finds Dennis Scarberry for another touchdown as that score would make it 41-0 followed by a missed extra point.
Bronx Carpenter would add one more touchdown before half as he finds Beckem Roth in the corner of the endzone for another touchdown. The score at halftime would be 48-0 following the extra point.
With the score being what it was both teams decided to have eight-minute quarters with the clock running the rest of the game to speed up the rest of the contest.
Following a short third quarter where no points were scored the Vikings would add another touchdown to make the score 55-0 where it would remain as the sped up fourth quarter clock hit triple zeros.
