The Perry County Vikings (1-3, 0-2 R6-1A) traveled to Atwood this passed Friday night to take
on the West Carroll War Eagles (2-1, 1-0 R6-1A) in a big Region 6-1A matchup. In the early
going, the War Eagles struck first as their running back found a hole on the right side of the
defense and took it in for the touchdown. The two-point conversion was good and the War
Eagles led 8-0. After the Vikings went three and out, the War Eagles again had a very successful
drive that ended in points as their running back took it in from 13-yards out. The two-point
conversion failed but the Vikings trailed 14-0 in the second quarter. About midway through,
Junior running back Zane Noel, took the handoff and looked to be stuffed at the line, however, he
burst through the line of scrimmage and looked to be heading for the end zone but got tripped up
right at the five-yard line. However, Senior Josh Warren took the ball into the end zone but the
extra point wasn’t good but now the score was 14-6 West Carroll. On the very next play from
scrimmage after the kickoff, the quarterback looked left and was trying to get the ball to his
receiver on a shovel pass. However, Junior Landon Smith noticed it and was able to catch the
ball and take it back 20-yards for the touchdown. The two-point conversion was good and just
like that with two minutes left in the first half, the Vikings tied things up 14-14. Then on the War
Eagles ensuing possession, they had plenty of time to score. The running back took off on third
down and scored from 30-yards out and the two point conversion was good and the War Eagles
led 22-14 at the half. The Vikings got the ball to start the second half off but the War Eagles
game plan worked to perfection as they outscored the Vikings 25-0 in the second half and the
Vikings lost 47-14.
