Vigor lead 20-0 at the half and cruised to a 26-6 win.
South Alabama commit Jerrian Graham, who played multiple positions on the night, hit Chris Perry Jr. with a 35-yard TD pass on a fourth-and-5 less than two minutes into the game. The Wolves led 7-0.
“In a game of that magnitude, you can’t make mistakes,” Blount first-year coach Ray Nelson said. “We probably couldn’t have played a worse first half and not just because we played bad. We didn’t finish drives. They converted on a fourth-and-20 or something like that. Situational football hurt us, and that is on me.”
“Defensively, I thought the kids played well,” Nelson said. “They tackled well for most of the night. Offensively, we were able to move the ball. We just couldn’t finish drives. Fourth-and-shorts, third-and-shorts hurt us. We have to do a better job coaching up the situations and the way we practice. I thought we played hard. I was a little nervous about how we might respond to adversity because everything has been so positive since I’ve been there, but I feel good about the future.
