WORTON – The Cambridge-South Dorchester High School varsity Vikings traveled to Kent County on Sept. 29, where they beat the Trojans, 16-6. C-SD’s record climbed to 3-2, while the Trojans’ fell to 0-5.

The game featured strong defensive play by the Vikings throughout, highlighted by Antonio Blueford’s 65-yard interception return. The offense scored all its points in the second quarter, led by a Teshar Drummond reception of quarterback Talan Middleton’s pass and Jaden Ferguson’s 72-yard run.

Trojan Jysir Valentine scored Kent County’s only touchdown.

A bright spot on the Vikings’ offense was the appearance of running back Jordan Williams. Despite being little used previously, Williams contributed solid running, especially in the third quarter. In the same quarter, wide receiver Tay’Mar Alexander, playing on defense, used his ball-catching skills to snag an interception and shut down a Trojans scoring drive.
