The Gibraltar Vikings secured a decisive 48‑22 victory over the Oneida Nation in their Packerland 8 Conference home game, improving to 1‑1 overall and 1‑0 in the league.
Jake Larson ignited the offense with a 70‑yard run in the second quarter and added another touchdown, while Hobbs Emerson contributed an 18‑yard touchdown pass to Larson and a 26‑yard scramble for a score, keeping the Vikings ahead.
The second half brought a flurry of scores: Milo Andrews recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown, Landen Pelkey capped a punt return with a score, and Brady White plunged into the end zone to seal the final tally.
Earlier in the game, Osakwalha Cornelius connected with Dalano Malone for a 28‑yard touchdown pass and a two‑point conversion, while Emerson’s dual‑threat play kept the defense guessing.
Road Test Ahead
With the win, the Vikings now turn their attention to a road match against Algoma on September 3, their first away game of the season, as they look to build on the early conference triumph.
