VIPERS FOOTBALL PREVIEW
7:00 PM at Red Springs August 24
This Friday Night, the VCHS Vipers travel ‘WAY down to Red Springs, NC (South of Fayetteville) for a contest with a Red Devil team familiar to Viper coach Darry Ragland and his former Southern Vance players. Last year, the Devils had their best season since 2012, finishing the season 9-4 after their second-round playoff loss. One of those wins was over Southern Vance 27-14. Red Springs’ roster is loaded with juniors and seniors, including both last year’s starting QB back and leading rusher, and last week they clobbered South Brunswick 38-12. Vance County, coming off their opening 41-22 loss at Franklinton, will need to tighten up their run defense, and their passing offense, which was burned for 5 interceptions by the Red Rams. But Coach Ragland and his Vipers know that, and this week’s nonconference game, along with next week, are the time to sort out those issues.
