Vikings unable to rally back, after falling behind No. 7 Summit 21-0 in the first quarter.
After losing the Missouri Class 4 state baseball championship game in heart-breaking fashion last spring to Suburban South Conference rival Rockwood Summit, the Parkway North football team had plans on returning the favor when the Vikings and Falcons met in Week 3 of the football season. Many prominent figures from the baseball teams for both schools also put on the helmets and pads in the fall. But Summit put any thoughts of Parkway North revenge to bed early Saturday, by scoring on each of its first three possessions, then adding a fourth score on the final play of the first half, to build a 28-point lead that eventually became a 34-14 victory for the Falcons over the Vikings.

Quarterback Cole Gorman ran for a touchdown and threw for another in 28-9 Colts win over Falcons.

Or maybe the two defenses just decided they weren’t going to let it happen, which they did in impressive fashion, holding both offenses to well below their scoring and yardage averages. In the end though, the hometeam Colts managed to get just enough done, while sprinkling in a couple of big plays, that led them to 28-9 win over the visiting Falcons. “I felt like we missed some opportunities,” Central coach Mark Goldenberg said. “And I’m sure they felt like they missed some opportunities …
