Mini Vikes succumb to Groffy in 119.65-95.20 rout

There's no easy way to say it, Mini Vikes dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Groffy cruised to a 119.65-95.20 victory. Groffy got out to an early 5.00-point lead on Thursday. Mini Vikes came back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by Josh Allen (18.2 points) and Zach Ertz (16.3). Not to be deterred, Groffy made a run later that afternoon, as Tyler Lockett (27.2 points) and Jameis Winston (23.55) put them back on top for good. Groffy (7-2) will look to sustain their momentum against Titletown, while Mini Vikes (6-3) try to get back on track against Neghiu'sBoys.
