VS Cross Country teams mark 25th year of carrying Homecoming game ball
After a quarter-century, the tradition of Vinton-Shellsburg cross country teams carrying the Homecoming football into the stadium continues as strong as ever.
More than a dozen Viking fans lined the bridge over the Cedar River as all of the boys and girls on the cross country team – with Ricky Jaray carrying the game ball – entered Vinton. Huge third quarter plays propel Vikes to 41-3 Homecoming rout
A long run, two long passes, and two early second-half turnovers helped the Vinton-Shellsburg Vikings turn what had been a fairly close, low-scoring contest into a 41-3 victory over Independence.
Ahead 15-3 at halftime, the Vikings scored first in the third quarter on a 61-yard run by Kelyn Rickels. The Mustangs fumbled on their next possession and the Vikings recovered. Upcoming Events and Registration Deadlines for VPR
