Puyallup was dealt a bruising 42-13 defeat at the hands of Graham-Kapowsin in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Thankfully for the Vikings, Daveon Superales (who threw for 201 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards on only five carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
