VIPERS FOOTBALL PREVIEW
JF. Webb at Vance County
Thursday, October 25, 2018
Pregame: 6:45 PM
Gametime: 7:00 PM
Vance County High School will have home field advantage this week as the Warriors of J. F. Webb come calling. The Warriors have yet to win a game this season, and the Vipers may not get a better chance for a win than this Thursday night (moved up from Friday due to expected rain storms).
At 0-7 (0-4 Northern Carolina Conference), Webb averages 10 points per game and has allowed over 35 points. Like Vance County, the Warriors they have hung in every game stubbornly, and have not been shut out this season. With just two games to go in the regular season, the Vipers’ scoring average has remained respectable at just under 23 points per game, and their most productive games were the 36-point win over Roanoke Rapids and 42 points in the thrilling 44-42 double-overtime loss to Bunn.
Like the Warriors, the Viper Defense has taken its lumps all season, allowing just under 34 points per game. Now 2-7 (1-3 NCC), VC can even their conference record with two well-balanced games this week and next. To do that, Viper QB Samien Burwell and his receivers will need to click together from the opening whistle.
