Pleasant Valley tops Enterprise in 1st round of NSCIF Division II playoffs

No. 6-seeded Pleasant Valley sent Braedon Tatreau to receive the opening kickoff of the Vikings first-round playoff game against No. 3 Enterprise on Friday, Nov. 13. Tatreau bobbled the ball on first contact, but after regaining control at the 12-yard line, the junior running back took the rock 88 yards for a touchdown. It was a gut punch for the Enterprise sideline, and a sign of things to come for the remaining 47 minutes of play. By the time all was said and done, the Vikings (4-7) walked out of Enterprise High School with a 47-17 win to advance to the Northern Section Division II semifinals. Even though the Hornets had the higher seed, neither Tatreau nor Vikings head coach Mark Cooley considered the win an upset. “We try to pride ourselves on starting fast and finishing strong, so you can’t ask for anything better with a kick return,” Cooley said. “Foothill got us on the same thing last week, so good thing to kind of flip that around and start fast.” The Viking defense forced a turnover on the Hornets (6-5) next possession, and a couple plays later, Tatreau ran in a 32-yard touchdown to give the Vikings a
