The game followed the previous week’s nail-biter, in which the Vikes held on at home to beat Queen Anne’s County, 23-22. The game in Bridgeville didn’t offer the same uncertainty - the closest C-SD came was 14-7 in the second quarter, with the ball on the Raiders’ 12-yard line. That drive did not yield a score, and it was all Raiders after that. The Vikings' game against North Caroline High School, originally scheduled for Friday, has been moved to today, Wednesday, to avoid bad weather forecast for later this week. Game time today is 6:30 p.m. The victory gave Woodbridge Head Coach Ed Manlove his 100th victory with the team. The Raiders won the Delaware State Championship two years ago. “Woodbridge is a well coached, strong team that out-played and out-coached us,” Vikings Head Coach Gaven Parker said. “They have Division 1 talent on both sides of the ball.” The Delaware boys’ size and speed were hard for the visitors to match. Several times, the Raiders’ scoring drives were only one or two plays - once a ball carrier was in the open field, it was off to the races. The first quarter ended with the score 21-7. The second quarter saw the Raiders’ offense scoring three more touchdowns, and their defense becoming even more effective, as the the Vikings had trouble getting the ball past the line of scrimmage. That made it 42-7 as the first half ended, meaning that there would be a running clock as soon as the second half began, with one team being ahead by at least 35 points. The result was a fast third quarter, and another Vikings score. Both teams’s coaches played many of their backups in the second half. The change in personnel gave the Vikings a chance to put more points on the board, narrowing the deficit. A final touchdown in the fourth period with a missed kick gave the Vikings their 20 points, and the Raiders tacked on another touchdown of their own. Ri’chard Stubbs, Malik Ennals and Jyquan Farrare each scored touchdowns for the Vikings. Drew Warfield was 2 for 3 in PATs.

But we are taking it one week at a time, focusing on the task at hand. We though we are a 1A school, we judge ourselves and hold ourselves to the 2A/3A standard. We expect to compete with schools larger than us.” The Bulldogs are undefeated after their first two games, having beaten Wicomico 35-8 in their season opener, and Parkside last week, 20-0. That’s 55 points scored by the Bulldogs in two games, against only 8 they’ve given up. “Obviously, we have our work cut out for us versus a very good North Caroline this week,” Coach Parker said.
