After a tough battle between the Vikings and the Golden West College Rustlers, the Vikings fell short with a final score of 31-24 on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At halftime, the Vikings were down by seven points with a 10-3 score due to their field goal and the Rustlers touchdown and field goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vikings made a tremendous comeback in the third and fourth quarters scoring three touchdowns, by wide receivers Norvell (PJ) Holmes, Semaj Dunn and Tyson Bordeaux, but it was not enough to secure a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the loss, Coach Peabody was extremely proud of how the team played, especially since they were down 17-3 up until the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was just very disappointed at some of the calls that went against us, I thought some of those unfortunately had an impact on the outcome of the game,\u201d Peabody said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they faced setbacks like this, the Vikings still powered through the rest of the game and fought hard until the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis team is really easy to coach because there\u2019s been great buy-in, so I know that Monday they\u2019re going to come to work because they want to keep fighting and they want to win,\u201d Peabody said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vikings\u2019 season started off rough with a two game losing streak but the team managed a five game winning streak up until this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarterback Jett Peddy admitted that in the first half he had a couple mental mistakes but was proud of the efforts displayed by his team in the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe started off 0-2, our backs against the wall, but this team really came together as a family and we\u2019re in position, but it just didn\u2019t go our way tonight,\u201d Peddy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peddy is confident that the team has what it takes to win every game, taking the loss as a learning opportunity and chance to grow so the Vikings can be victorious for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defensive end Zeph Misa shared that the game was full of ups and downs, but he understood that he and his team didn\u2019t capitalize on opportunities that were handed to them by the Rustlers, which ultimately led to their defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe as a team have grown to hold each other together as a family and push through the adversity and this game was just one of those lessons for us,\u201d Misa said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misa shared that although this was a tough loss, the team\u2019s goals are still the same from the beginning of the season and they\u2019re going to attack and execute their assignments and continue to grow their bond on and off the field, so that they\u2019ll become an even stronger team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vikings are set to play their next game at Mt. San Antonio College on Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. with hopes to reboot their winning streak and make a comeback for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
