West Vigo unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They were just a hair shy of victory on Friday and fell 20-19 to the South Vermillion Wildcats. The match was a 7-7 toss-up at halftime, but the Vikings couldn't quite close it out.
When it comes to explaining why West Vigo lost, don't look at Ryan Cobb. Despite the final result, he rushed for 125 yards.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead South Vermillion to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ben Shryock, who rushed for 100 yards and one score, and also threw for 27 yards and one touchdown. Shryock also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
