Firth, Neb. – The Waverly Vikings continued their decade‑plus reign over the Norris Titans with a decisive 48‑12 victory on Friday night at Titan Stadium. Despite battling the flu, quarterback Gavin McMillan delivered a three‑touchdown performance, while running back Cash Beckman added a 60‑yard rushing touchdown.
Game Highlights
The defending Class B champion Vikings (5‑2) opened the game with a fast 14‑0 lead in the first quarter. McMillan’s first touchdown came early, setting the tone for a dominant first half. Beckman’s long run further extended the lead, and Waverly never looked back, controlling the clock and the scoreboard throughout the night.
Waverly’s defense forced multiple stops, limiting Norris to just 12 points. The Titans (3‑4) struggled to generate sustained drives, and their offense never found the rhythm needed to challenge the Vikings’ momentum.
Looking Ahead
Waverly’s next matchup comes in Week 8 against Pius X, where the Vikings will aim to preserve their unbeaten streak. Norris, meanwhile, will travel to face Gretna next Friday night, seeking to bounce back after the heavy loss.
