The Gibraltar Vikings will have one final attempt to taste victory on Friday night when they travel west to face Wabeno-Laona.
The Vikings were forced to forfeit last week's game after several players were injured in the team's 42-6 loss to Suring two weeks ago. The team has struggled offensively all season, averaging less than four points a game and 100 yards per game. A win would help the Vikings avoid their second winless season since 2020. In that season, the Vikings were also short players in a shortened alternate fall season that bled directly into baseball season.
The Rebels enter the matchup 6-2 on the season, needing a win to bolster their resume to get into the WIAA Eight-Man Football Playoffs. Cooper Albrecht and Walker Winkelman do it all for the team as they both lead the team in passing and rushing while latter is second on the team in receiving. Similar to the Vikings, they ran into their own buzzsaw against Almond/Bancroft, losing their game to them last week 66-28.
Tim Kowols will have the call of the season finale on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 6:45 p.m. followed by the kickoff at 7 p.m.
