Coeur d'Alene senior Quarterback, Chad Chalich ran for three touchdowns and passed for one more as the Coeur d'Alene Vikings(2-0) beat the Moses Lake Chiefs(1-0) 32-14 saturday night at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. Chalich finished the night with 207 yards passing and 72 rushing. Moses Lake Quarterback, Justin Simmons looked great at times going 19/37 for 175 yards and a touchdown, but it was his four turnovers that tell the story.
The Vikings would get the opening kickoff, but before they could get going they would committ their first of 12 penalties on the evening. Once they got moving, the Vikings would march right down the field and into the endzone ending with a 6 yard run by Chalich for a 7-0 lead. Following the touchdown, the two teams would trade interceptions before Moses Lake would makes its march. The Chiefs would need only four plays to go 65 yards for the score, capped off with a 12 yard pass from Simmons to senior Anthony Johnson. Johnson would finish the night with 6 catches for 82 yards. With a 2 Point Conversion the Chiefs would take a 8-7 lead with just over two minutes left in the first quarter.
The two teams would then take turns having sloppy possessions end with punts, before the Vikings would go 41 yards in just five plays and a second Chad Chalich rushing touchdown. Following a two point conversion, Couer d'Alene would have a 15-8 lead.
An untimely fumble would get the Vikings the ball back at the Chiefs 38. After a personal foul and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, Chalich would find Joe Roletto wide open for a 46 yard gain putting at the 8 yardline with just seconds left on the clock. Junior Kicker, Parker Wilson would split the uprights with no time remaining to give the Vikings an 18-8 halftime lead.
The second half was much of the same for Moses Lake as they would take the kickoff and promptly go three and out. The punt would not make it back to the line of scrimmage as its was tipped by a hard Viking rush. Five plays later Chalich was into the endzone, from 7 yards, for his third rushing touchdown of the game to widen the gap to 25-8.
With 4:16 left in the game, Chalich would get his only touchdown pass of the night. After a fumbled snap, the Vikings would take over at the Chief three yardline. Following a run that resulted in a loss of four yards, senior Deon Watson hauled in a seven yard pass for the score to make it 32-8.
Justin Simmons would take it in from one yard out with 29 seconds left to bring the score to its final stop at 32-12.
