The winner of Friday's game between the Gibraltar Vikings and the Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas Titans will go a long way to determining the winner of the inaugural Peninsula Eight Player Football Conference.

 

The Vikings and the Titans are very similar as they are both are the top 2 in total offense and defense and they both boast quarterbacks leading the charge on the ground.

 

The Titans' Sam Marquardt has scored 12 touchdowns on the ground to go along with 645 rushing yards. He also has three passing touchdowns on the season as well Marquardt rushed for 229 yards rushing and four scores in the Titans' 52-24 romp over Algoma last week.

 

The Vikings counter with Brady Kita, who rushed for 157 yards and three scores last week in Gibraltar's 62-8 win over Gillett. Kita has proved to be a dual threat in recent weeks, pairing his 499 yards/eight touchdowns on the ground to his 640 yards/12 touchdowns through the air.

 

The winner will likely be in the driver's seat to win the Peninsula Conference barring major setbacks the final two weeks of the season. The two teams have outscored their conference by a score of 374-52.

 

Tim Kowols and Jacob Nate will have the call on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show, followed by the kickoff at 7 p.m,
