SEMINOLE -- It was Homecoming night at Seminole, but the Warhawk defense was no match for the running power of Northeast's Shaquan Johnson, who scored five of the Vikings' seven touchdowns.
​
Star of the game: Johnson continued to be a big threat on the field, keeping the Viking's undefeated streak (4-0) intact. In addition to his touchdowns, he tallied an impressive 176 rushing yards. "If you put a 100-foot wall in front of Shaq, he will find a way to get around it," coach Jeremy Frioud said.
