Viper football kicks off vs Belton tonight at home with a scrimmage
The Vandegrift Viper football hosts a scrimmage at the Viper Pit vs. Belton HS Thursday, Aug. 22 at Monroe Memorial Stadium.
“Belton HS is a very quality 6A opponent to start our official schedule for 2019,” Drew Sanders, VHS head football coach.
Belton has has just as many numbers as VHS does and are a playoff team every year, Sanders said.
“They will return a lot of starters on the offensive line, so will be a good test for our young defensive line,” he added. “In addition their D-line will be experienced, so our O-line will be challenged.”
Sanders expects Vandegrift to have the normal first action edge, and also expects great things during its first scrimmage.
“We’ve got great leadership, excellent effort and young men that like their teammates. And that always corresponds with good results,” Sanders said.
Freshman will play at 5 p.m., JV at 6 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m.
“It’s fun to see a new team begin a season as some kids will always surprise you and step into the limelight when given the chance and that’s one of my true joys of my job is to see that development,” Sanders added.
The team plays Cedar Park next week on Aug. 30 at home. ... See MoreSee Less
