VIPERS IMPROVE IN 40-20 LOSS TO TOUGH RED DEVILS
/by WIZS StaffVIPERS IMPROVE IN 40-20 LOSS TO TOUGH RED DEVILS
— by Jeff Jenkins
The Vance County High School Vipers continued their three-game road trip Friday night against Red Springs, a three-hour ride to the south beyond Fayetteville. In spite of clear improvement in all aspects of the their offense, the Vipers could only manage three touchdowns and took a 40-20 defeat. The game was very similar to the opener against Franklinton as Red Springs is also a hard-running team. Viper Quarterback Samien Burwell’s only touchdown pass against Franklinton last week was called back on a Viper penalty, and he threw five interceptions. Against Red Springs, though, Burwell threw a TD pass to Josh Joyner in the second quarter, took better care of the ball, and ran for a touchdown late in the game. Between Burwell’s scores, Noah Terry ran for a TD, just as he did at Franklinton. As happened at Franklinton, however, VCHS found itself in a hole at halftime, and was unable to make up the deficit in the face of continued scoring by the Red Devils.
Vance County Friday Night Football on WIZS will be on the air next on Thursday night this week (August 30) as VCHS travels to Beddingfield.
