MOUNT BERRY, Ga. - Blake Hembree threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns as the Berry Vikings capped off their season defeating the Hendrix Warriors 55-8 Saturday at Valhalla Stadium and Williams Field on Senior Day.

On the first play of the following drive for Hendrix, Brock Skinner intercepted the ball at the Warrior 14, jogging it in for a pick six and a 21-0 cushion.

The next two offensive drives for Berry resulted in field goals off the boot of Matthew Syverson, which would take the Vikings into halftime up 34-0.

The defense continued to overwhelm the Warriors as Brock Skinner brought down a sack on third and 18.
