North Salem Vikings Football 7-28 Aloha

Aloha handed North Salem a 28-7 defeat in a non-league football game Friday night, dropping the Vikings to 1-1 on the season. The game was played at North Salem High School in Salem, Oregon, where the Central Valley Conference (6A) program was looking to build on an opening-week win. Aloha controlled much of the contest, pulling away for a comfortable margin that the home side could not overcome. North Salem's lone score kept the Vikings competitive early, but the visitors ultimately proved too much to handle on the night. While the loss stings, falling to a non-league opponent this early in the fall gives the coaching staff valuable film to work with and identify areas for growth before conference play heats up. North Salem will look to regroup and get back on track next week, using this performance as motivation heading into the next stretch of the schedule.
