CADILLAC, MI - The Alpena Wildcats took a 13-7 lead into the 4th quarter but fell to the Cadillac Vikings 14-13 on Friday night in Cadillac.  Things started well for Alpena when Cody Bertrand picked off a Viking pass on the game's third play and returned it to the Cadillac 15.  However, penalties and botched snaps quickly moved the ball backwards.  Cadillac took the early lead on a 24-yard run by Noah Cochrane on their second possession of the game.  Alpena responded on their next drive with a 5-yard Touchdown run by Bob Sheldon.  Alpena's defense held strong to keep the game tied at 7-7 entering the half as Cadillac threatened.  In their first possession of the 2nd half, Alpena got a huge 48-yard Touchdown run on 4th and inches by Sheldon but had the Extra Point blocked.  The 13-7 lead held until the 8:28 mark of the 4th when Tipp Baker scored from the 1-yard line.  Alpena drove into Cadillac territory before a holding call put Alpena in a long yardage situation.  Logan Guthrie was stopped short on 4th and 7 to turn the ball over on downs.  Alpena returned the favor by forcing a turnover on downs with only 0:38 to play.  A completed pass from Anakin Sims to Sheldon and a roughing the passer call moved the ball into Viking territory.  Baker picked off a Sims's pass with 0:10 left to secure the victory for Cadillac.  Alpena (2-2, 0-2 BNC) will return home on Friday, September 21 when they host Traverse City West (2-2, 1-0 BNC), who upset crosstown rival TC Central (21-14).
