HS ROUNDUP (Oct. 12): Vikings roll behind Oliverio's 4 TD passes

Grand Island senior quarterback Joe Oliverio was nearly flawless Saturday in leading the Vikings to a convincing 42-20 Class A North road victory at Starpoint. Oliverio finished 9-of-12 passing for 165 yards and four touchdowns in GI’s fourth consecutive win. Senior wideout Alex Neutz also continued on his torrid pace, catching seven passes for 164 yards and three scores. Running back Eddie Weiser added 17 carries for 148 yards and a touchdown, while Andy LaLonde had two carries for 62 yards and a score. Joel Klock, who was 3-of-4 passing for 47 yards, kicked a 23-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to round out the scoring for the Vikings (5-1 overall, 4-2 Class A North). Defensively, Weiser and Brett Dlugosz both had nine tackles. GI had a 32-0 lead at the half. For Starpoint (2-4, 2-3), Joe Scibilia threw a pair of touchdown passes. Joe DeLelio and Derek Bongiovanni each caught one, while Brandon Bratek had a 13-yard touchdown run.
