It may be the season for baseball, softball and other spring sports but Vance Co. High School Head Football Coach Aaron Elliott is ready to hit the field. Coach Elliott was a guest on Thursday’s SportsTalk to discuss this year’s Spring football game. “It will be at 8pm on Friday, May 3rd at the high school,” Elliott said. “The state allows us to practice for ten days during the Spring and we will finish with our offense playing our defense during the game,” Elliott added. Coach Elliott expects between 50 and 60 kids to participate.
The Vipers lost all of last year’s receivers to graduation and will be looking at replacements during the game. Additionally, defensive backs will also be evaluated during the Spring practices and game Elliott said.
The Vipers won their conference championship last season and that success has resulted in an invitation to the High School OT Kickoff Scrimmage in Wake Forest on Saturday, August 17th at 6pm where they will play Jordan High School. The week before, on August 8th, the Vipers host their annual Jamboree at Vance Co. High School.
The season kicks off August 23rd with a visit to rival Warren County.
