Quarterback Bryce Bolger threw touchdown passes of 12 yards to Colton Robertson and 74 yards to Will Ruetz on Evergreen’s first two drives of the game and the Vikings went on to defeat the visiting Rossford Bulldogs 36-6 in a non-conference contest Friday night.  Alex Mossing converted both PATs and, in just under eight minutes of play, Evergreen held a 14-0 lead.  Later in the quarter the Bulldogs broke through with a 46-yard run into the end zone, but the Vikings blocked the extra point then held Rossford scoreless the rest of the way.

A 23-yard field goal by Mossing extended Evergreen’s lead to 17-6 and just before the half, Ruetz picked off a Rossford pass and raced 21 yards for the score and the Vikings went into the locker room with a 24-6 advantage.   In the second half, Bolger scored on a 1-yard plunge and later threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Quinten Eisel in the fourth quarter for his third scoring toss of the night for the 36-6 final.

Bolger led the Evergreen offense completing 11 of 20 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns while also rushing 12 times for 57 yards and a score.  Robertson caught five of those passes for 102 yards and a touchdown.  Ruetz grabbed two for 87 yards and a touchdown.  The Vikings racked up 315 yards of total offense with 29:52 minutes in time of possession.  The Bulldogs had 241 yards of total offense and held the ball for 18:37 minutes.

The victory moves Evergreen’s record to 2-1 on the year.  Next Friday the Vikings travel to Patrick Henry to open the NWOAL season.
