GRAETTINGER &8212; The Northwood-Kensett football team remained perfect on the season with another dominating rushing performance that led to a 35-6 win Friday.

The 10h-ranked Vikings pounded out 260 yards on the ground and 324 yards of total offense while the N-K defense allowed just 161 yards. Brock Johnson ran for 70 yards while Michael Bachtle had 46.

Bachtle scored the Vikings&8217; first two touchdowns, both coming on on 1-yard runs before Graettinger&8217;s Jake Hoffman scored on an 8-yard pass to make the score 14-6.

However Bachtle would find the end zone, once again from a yard out, with just four seconds left in the first half to take the momentum back.

Michael Steiff scored on a 6-yard run for the Vikings in the third quarter and Ryan Mueller scored from two yards out in the fourth to complete the scoring for the Vikings.

The Vikings&8217; defense forced three turnovers with a fumble recovery by Bachtle and two interceptions from Jake Weisert. Bachtle&8217;s big game also included a team-leading 13 tackles.

Weisert hit on just 2 of 10 passes for N-K but one was a 41-yard pitch-and-catch to Jacob Gordon.

The 5-0 Vikings are in Algona Friday to face Bishop-Garrigan.
