The second half proved to be a tougher battle, with the Royals forcing a safety early in the third quarter to widen their lead to 30-7. North Battleford managed to score on a lengthy drive, capitalizing on some undisciplined penalties from the Royals. But just when momentum seemed to shift, Aidan Low returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown, restoring a commanding 23-point lead.


The Vikings fought back with an impressive eight-minute drive in the fourth quarter, bringing the score to 37-21. Nevertheless, the Royals effectively managed the clock, kneeling out the final moments to secure the victory and a home playoff game against the same Vikings squad this Friday at 4:00 PM.
