| 2. Lucas Viking quarterback Nick Ruitenbeek (10) gets off this pass in the second quarter but it was not enough to hold off the Rams 44-9 win. |  |
|
| 3. The Vikings were thrilled at the chance to play under the lights in the USA just like the popular TV show 'Friday Night Lights.' Their games are all played during daylight hours. |  |
|
| 4. The Trotwood-Madison dancers thrilled the halftime crowd with a Michael Jackson styled dance routine accompanied by the Rams marching band.. |  |
|

| 6. Brothers Jake Flemington (9) and Eric Flemington (20) of the Lucas Vikings talk strategy on the sideline during the 2nd quarter. |  |
|

|
| 9. With less than two minutes remaining in the first half the Vikings desperation was starting to show along the sidelines. |  |
|
| 10. Great music and dancing from the marching Rams were well received. |  |
|
| 11. The marching band really sounds great again this year. Watch for them in the Circle City Classic Parade in Indianapolis on October 6th 2007. |  |

|
| 15.Dominic Britt threw some great passes but this one got away in the third quarter, right into the hands of Lucas safety Spencer Wolfe. (The video quality is a little rough but we thought the play was worth sharing.) | ||
