KAMAS – The Kamas Valley Muddogs
continued their surprising resurgence behind some solid defense and some big
special teams plays to defeat the RMFL’s biggest enigma, the Vipers 18-13
Saturday afternoon in
The first play of the game was entirely
indicative of how things were going to go for the Vipers. Nash Montoya received the opening kick-off of
the game and as he reversed his field to elude oncoming
All would seem right for the Vipers, however,
when league-leading running back, Kyle Curtis reeled of a 25-yard touchdown run
to put the Vipers in front 7-0. A lead that didn’t seem even too much at risk
when the Muddogs recorded their second safety of the quarter when a shotgun
snap sailed beyond Terry Smothers reach and out of the Viper end zone.
Byrce Kennington kicked the first of two field goals to
extend the Viper lead to 10-4 in the second quarter. Kennington would go on to nail
the longest field goal in RMFL history in the 3rd quarter, a 54-yard
field goal that turned out to be the final score of the game.
Between Kennington’s
field goals, the Muddogs would score off of a John Katoa
recovery of a Viper fumble in the end zone. That score would give the Muddogs a
tentative 11-10 halftime lead. Chad
Peterson would haul in a 10-yard Dustin Long pass after a short drive after a
Viper interception. From that point, the Muddog
defense took over to preserve the victory.
Pala Viatuu (5-1/2 tackles), Kyto Khouang (5
tackles), and Will Faleola (4-1/2 tackles) paced the Muddog defense in keeping the Viper offense out of the end
zone.
Robert Gill, Nick Coates and Matt Peterson paced the Viper defense in a solid effort. Troy Peterson, one of the leagues sack leaders in 2004 got his first sack of the season in the Vipers 6th game.
