Valhalla had lost three straight at home, but on Thursday they dropped their record down to 7-15 to make it four. They lost 13-3 to the Helix Highlanders. The Norsemen were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Highlanders apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in May of 2024.
