The Gibraltar Vikings will not be making the trip to Lena Friday, instead forfeiting their match-up to Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas.

Coach Mike Peck told NEW Radio Sports Network on Thursday morning that he had to make the tough decision to forfeit as they looked for their first win of the season.

The Vikings struggled to slow down the Suring Eagles in the second half as they lost their home finale 42-6 last Friday night. The Vikings were stymied early but broke through in the opening moments of the second quarter when Wyatt Bultman brought down a Giovanni Mercier pass in the endzone to make it 8-6. The loss dropped the Vikings to 0-6 on the season. Will Lecy leads the team with 283 yards on the ground and another 142 yards through the air.
