With the first game less than a month away, Vance Co. Vipers head coach Aaron Elliott is looking to have a very successful season. In Elliott’s first season as head coach, he took the Vipers to the playoffs and fully expects to be back this year. “I think we have a great shot at a 10-win season,” Elliott said on Thursday’s SportsTalk.
The Vipers have been participating is numerous 7 on 7 camps over the last several weeks, and Elliott has been happy with what he has seen. “We have a team full of athletes,” Elliott said. He has been impressed with Javion Vines-Holder, the team’s quarterback. “I started working with him in December and he has been terrific,” Elliott stated.
While the team will be a bit on the young side this year, Elliott said his offensive backfield will return intact and his receivers will be a strength for the Vipers. The offensive line lost only one starter from last year’s team.
The Viper’s open the season at home on August 18th against Warren County. Follow the Vipers all season long with play by play live on WIZS.
