The Vikings got on the board after recovering a Demopolis fumble at the Tigers 25-yard line. The Vikings scored moments later when Kevon Samuels ran it in from 18-yards out with 9:09 left in the second quarter. Preston Reed’s extra point was good, and the Vikings had cut into the Tigers lead, making the score 13-7. Neither team scored again in the game making the final score 13-7.
