Beach Boys Shut Out Roosevelt
By Steve Dion
A windy, rainy Thursday night at Memorial Stadium proved to be a perfect combo for the dominant run game of the Rainier Beach Vikings against Roosevelt.
Beach running back Freddie Roberson started his big game early by carving through the Rough Riders defense from 29 yards out to the endzone. Roosevelt’s passing game was shut down by the Viks defense and the run game was also slow out of the gates.
The Riders had their chance to even the score when Charlie Bradley & Conor Rowe each hauled in an interception. RB held their ground and Roberson ended the half on a high note with a 34 yard touchdown run.
Beach continued to pour down the points like the rain as the second half wore on and the running game continued to chip away chunks of yards. The Vikings defense put their stamp on the game with a fumble recovery for TD and punt block en route to a shutout. Don’t look now, but Rainier Beach is 7-0 heading into the final weeks of the regular season!
The Final Score:
Rainier Beach 34, Roosevelt 0.
