Vinton County Vikings vs Wellston Golden Rockets

[Poo Bear]

Should be a competive game . Nothing to lose for these two schools this week. I still think Wellston has more weapons.
Rockets 33
Vikings 26

Vikings end the season with a 27 14 win over the Rockets

[Da Bears]

Was told by a friend that was at the game last Friday, that Wellston had a couple of players ejected from the game against Meigs. (maybe a Wellston poster could confirm) If this is true, they are out of this week's game, so I'll take the Vikings in a close one 20 - 13. So much promise for both of these teams this year. Lots of pride on the line this week. Get a win and go into the off-season on a positive note. Good luck to both teams.

[Ironman92]

I look for VC to win.

One boy, I believe #7 was ejected in the Meigs game for kicking a player in the face when he was down.

Look for the Rockets to get off to a quick start in this one at home.

It should be a very competitive game, I will give Wellston a little bit of an edge.

[VIKED_MAN]

Just hope for an injury free contest!
Neither team needs a bad injury during the last game.
On paper Rockets look better, but Viking have played tuff verses similar talented teams.
Both teams had a disappointed season.
Good luck to both teams, play hard and safe!

[ONE OF A KIND]

The game is at Wellston, soooo, Nuff said. The Wellston refs will take care of business as usual.

[Oaks_Fan_06]

This should be a good game, let's just hope for a clean game. I am going to go with Wellston by 6.

There have been ejections from both teams for 3 straight years now. Lol we'll see about clean.

A VC win would definetly help Belpre Dundas as Oak Hill wouldn't get the some of points they need to possibly overtake Belpre for the 8th spot. So give them Vikings a really good pep talk and take care of the Rockets.GO VIKES!!

Anything to help out a fellow charter member!

Oak Hill needs Wellston to win, as Oak Hill is currently in eighth place, just slightly ahead of Belpre. This game is always a slugfest. However, VC might be due for a win in this series, as Wellston has dominated the W-L column in recent years.

Wellston is 6-4 over the last 10 years. Ill post full history later.

Thought there might be more "talk" on here this week from the fans. This is a pretty good rivalry game and both team need DESPARATELY to get a win this week. Gonna be a long long off-season for the loser of this one. Wellston is going to be without one of their best backs. Not sure how either team is for injuries. I will take the Vikings in a close one 20 - 14. Can't believe we are in week 10.

I hope Hutch can get the boys fired up for this one. Those kids would run through a brick wall for him. He is the best motivator in the area IMO. I think Hutch will have'em ready and look out next year too. This team is so young once Hutch gets'em in the weight room and gets them fired up they can beat anyone on the schedule including Jackson.

WOW! Who is this "Hutch?" Maybe he should be coaching in Columbus?

[Alexander hitman]

Think Vinton County is going to pull out a win....good luck to both teams 21-10 Vikings
