Nolan Catholic's defense started the game off on the right foot by stopping All Saints offense on an opening drive three and out. The opening stop would be followed by a score and early lead that the Vikings would not relinquish for the rest of the night.
Nolan Catholic was able to build a 21-point lead before the conclusion of the first quarter. This was a result of great complimentary football. The Vikings forced three punts on All Saints' first three drives of the game and then manufactured those stops into points.
