Game Summary/Box Score
April 21, 2007 Vipers at Idaho Matadors
VIPERS 40 IDAHO 0
NAMPA – The Vipers completed their
opening season Idaho road schedule with a convincing, if not dominating 40-0
victory over the Idaho Matadors in Nampa, Idaho Saturday behind 9 of 9 passing
for 104 yards and two touchdowns by James Flynn and some solid short yardage rushing
by Josh Christensen who scored 3 Viper touchdowns.
With the powerful Viper
rushing game held mostly in check by the surprisingly tough Matador defense,
the Vipers did a rare feat, for them, passing for more yards than they rushed
for. Brannon Stacey and Nash Montoya
each caught first half touchdown passes from Flynn to add to Christensen’s
scores and Jeff Hancock capped all scoring with a late 4th quarter
interception of Jarod Briggs that he returned to the “house”
for 50 yards and the final score of the game.
The Vipers held a
precarious 7-0 lead on Montoya’s touchdown reception until midway into the
second quarter when Christensen would get his first TD of the day. On the
Vipers next drive, Flynn found Stacy for a 43-yard connection and the Vipers
pushed their lead to 21-0 at the half.
Jeff Labounty
saw plenty of second half playing time at quarterback and passed for another 78
yards as well.
For the Matadors, quarterback,
Tom Bennett, started strong (7 of 8, 57 yards), however, had to leave the game
with a hamstring injury in the second quarter.
The Viper defense was lead
by Jeff Hancock, who not only got the big interception and score, but lead the team in tackles with 7, including a sack on Briggs.
In shutting down the Viper rushing game, Matador linebacker, Nick Ramsey had a career game, recording a Matador record, 13 tackles on the afternoon, however, too little too late as the Vipers balanced attack was just too much for a Matador offense that could just not generate more than 100 total net yards of offense against the top ranked Viper defense.
