Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Tayt Snellgrove stepped things up a notch to give Valwood the 'W'. Snellgrove was dynamite, throwing for 161 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes, while also rushing for 42 yards.
Valwood pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season. Snellgrove's next game is against Deerfield-Windsor on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
