The Vikings (7-3, 5-2) put the Central rematch out of reach returning a fumble for a touchdown in the waning minutes of last week’s game.
Meanwhile, New Richmond (10-0) led Marshfield last week just 17-10 after three quarters, before pulling away for a 30-13 win.
A balanced New Richmond attack awaits the Vikings.

Holmen’s reliable triple-option has continued to give opponents fits. The Vikings have rushed for 24 touchdowns and over 2,400 yards as a team in its 10 games.
