The victory clinches the conference title for the Nordics with a 4-0 mark. Brimley fell to 3-5 overall and 1-1 in the conference.

“I was very happy with the way we started,” said North Dickinson coach Mike Christian. “Defensively we shut them down early, which we have struggled with lately … we had a little extra hop to our step and it showed, especially with our D-line. They played great.”

The Nordics led 26-0 at halftime.

North Dickinson quarterback Brady Jungwirth completed 9 of 15 passes for 150 yards and three TDs. He had 68 yards rushing, including a 5-yard scoring run in the second quarter.
