Isaac Cutrara threw for a season-high five touchdowns and Devonte Harley-Hampton scored four as the Vikings bounced back from last week’s overtime loss to Bolingbrook with the big win on the road. Homewood-Flossmoor improved to 7-1 and 5-1 in the SouthWest Suburban Blue. The Porters fell to 2-6, 2-4.
TURNING POINT
Tyler Johnson scored on a 30-yard touchdown run for Lockport to trim the H-F lead to 28-14 with 1:17 left in the first half. But Aaron Gooch returned the ensuing kickoff 70 yards to the Lockport 29. Two plays later, Vashon Nutt scored his second score of the game from a yard out. Following an interception by Reginald Howell, Cutrara found Harley-Hampton with a 15-yard touchdown pass and the Vikings took a 41-14 lead into halftime.

QUOTABLE
“We had a good week of practice [following the Bolingbrook loss] and came out hot on offense. Devonte is a speedster and he stepped up and played a heck of a game.”— Cutrara.
