No. 1 Grand View set to host No. 7 Lindsey Wilson in NAIA playoffs Saturday
December 4th, 2025 by Ric Hanson
Grand View football coach E.J. Peterson has been keeping an eye on the forecast. There is a chance of snow on Saturday when the top ranked and defending champion Vikings host Lindsey Wilson of Kentucky in the quarterfinal round of the NAIA playoffs. Heavy snow was not a problem last week as the Vikings crushed Saint Francis of Indiana 62-20 in their playoff opener.
The formula for Grand View in posting an 11-0 record has been run the ball and stop the run. The Vikings averaged 212 yards on the ground per game and give up only 80.
This will be the fifth playoff meeting between the two teams with Grand View winning three of the first four. The Blue Raiders are 10-1 and ranked seventh.
