Homecoming for the Vance County Vipers proved to be another successful outing, even if a bit on the wet side, as they faced off against Louisburg. The result was an impressive 36-3 win. Head coach Aaron Elliott said one of the keys to the victory was shutting down the Louisburg offense which dominated the second quarter of the game. “We did a good job at half time. We were prepared for the wishbone offense but not for the unbalanced line they used,” Elliott said of the game. In the second half the Vipers turned former Louisburg player Shamir Sheppard loose on offense and defense and the rout was on.
Granville Central is this week’s opponent and Elliott knows that despite a 1-4 record the Vipers have to be ready. “Granville Central is disciplined and they don’t make mistakes,” Elliot said. “We are confident and if we stay disciplined and stay humble we should be OK,” Elliott continued.
Elliott, who was a guest on Thursday’s SportsTalk, knew the Vipers would be good. “Back in the spring I told everyone we could be 10-0 this season,” Elliott stated. With only four games left in the regular season that prediction may come to pass but three of the last four games are on the road with three games against Granville County rivals.
