VIPERS 22 IDAHO
Idaho April
23, 2005
MORGAN – The Vipers are on a roll.
The Vipers have followed up an opening home
loss to the Magic Valley Bulldawgs with consecutive impressive victories over the
top-ranked Utah Wolverines and now over the up-and-coming expansion team, the
Idaho Matadors. The Viper defense
dominated the Matadors, getting 5 turnovers, 5 sacks, a safety and a defensive
score en rout to another convincing 22-0 victory.
Viper place-kicker, Bryce Kennington,
also had a solid day, hitting two field goals of 27 and 42 yards including the
first score of the game that put the Vipers up 3-0 early in the second
quarter. Viper star quarterback, Skyler Sherwood (15-21-1-191-1) later found Viper leading
receiver, Colby Cook for a touchdown to put the Vipers up 10-0 as the first
half was winding down.
Nick Coats blocked a punt out of the end zone
and Mike Christensen returned and interception for a touchdown as the Viper
defense had their way with the Matador offense.
Not to be overshadowed, Viper tailback, Kyle
Curtis had a phenomenal day rushing for 139 yards on only 15 carries in
propelling the Viper offense. Colby Cook ended up with 99 yards on 8 receptions
on the day to go with his touchdown.
The Matadors did get an impressive game from
their star wide receiver, Jerry Smith. Smith
caught 6 passes for 138 yards and considering that the Matador offense only
ended up with 120 total net yards on the day was the Matador offense.
The Viper defense was headlined by Nick
Coats, a former Layton Pitbull, who came over after
the Pitbulls folded in the off-season. Coats not only
blocked the punt for the safety, but lead the team in tackles with 6, including
2 quarterback sacks.
The Matador defense was stout in their own right, only yielding one offensive touchdown to the Vipers. Justin Howell lead the Matador defense with 6 tackles and Brad Chase chipped in with 2 sacks on Sherwood.
