The Vikings blanked the defending champion Bear Creek Kodiaks, 23-0, on Maple Ridge Secondary School's artificial turf field in the city's south end.
It marked Barrie North's fifth shutout win of the season in only nine games after not allowing any points in previous games against Nantyr Shores, Innisdale and twice versus Banting Memorial.
