Vikings Rally Past Federal Hocking for 19-6 Victory
Vinton County Vikings rolled to a 19-6 win over Federal Hocking in a Monday night game. Co captain Marvin Koenecke had died two weeks earlier and players presented the game ball to his father. Senior running duo Beatle Ward and Steve Libby led the ground attack with 160 and 134 yards respectively and two and one touchdowns. Ward's 62 yard first play from scrimmage set the tone and Libby added the third Viking score after halftime. Federal Hocking, missing injured Terry Russell, totaled 166 rushing yards including an 80 yard TD by Steve Curtis on the final play but could not overcome the Vikings' grinding offense.
