They enjoyed a cozy 50-36 victory over Hueneme. For Fillmore, this counts as revenge for the 49-48 loss the Vikings walked away with the last time they faced one another back in January.

Several Vikings players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Benito Gutierrez, who scored six points along with three steals. Jayani Cortez was another key contributor, scoring nine points.
