The heavy rains in the late afternoon on Friday did not deter the dedicated Viper fans from coming out in droves to Vandegrift’s Ed W. Monroe Memorial Stadium for football and performances by band, dance and cheer. The student section came decked out for the stars and stripes theme, and hundreds of 8th graders from Canyon Ridge and Four Points middle schools joined VHS students on the field for band, dance and cheer entertainment. The football game went into overtime with the Vipers beating Cedar Ridge by a field goal kick, 17-14 with just over a minute left to play.
