Berkmar kicked off their season on the road on Friday and hit a couple of potholes. They had to suffer through a 49-13 loss at the hands of the Lakeside Vikings. The Patriots were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Vikings apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in August of 2024.
Jayson Michel was the offensive standout of the match as he picked up 61 receiving yards and a pair of scores. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in receiving touchdowns (two).
