The Vikings opened their season in spectacular fashion, cruising to a 38‑7 victory over Eisenhower in a game that underscored their championship pedigree.
Turning Points
Four turnovers defined the contest, three of them interceptions that swung momentum early and kept Eisenhower off balance.
Senior defender Calvin Payne was the architect of the defensive onslaught, snatching two passes in the first quarter, one of which set up a short field for the offense.
Quarterback William Davis capitalized on the short field, connecting with Daniel Jackson for two touchdowns that put the Vikings firmly in control.
Standout Performances
Running back Jahsiah Sio turned the game into a showcase of power, carving out 195 yards on the ground and adding two rushing scores that left the defense scrambling.
The Vikings built a 24‑0 lead by halftime, only to see Eisenhower avoid a shutout with a late touchdown, finishing the night 38‑7.
Looking Ahead
With the win, Moreno Valley, the two‑time defending Inland Valley League champion, prepares to host Arroyo Valley next week as they transition into the Sunbelt League.
Eisenhower, who finished last season 4‑6, will look to rebound when they travel to face Colton in their upcoming matchup.
