While the West Valley High football team put a damper on Pleasant Valley's plans for homecoming, the Vikings don't appear shaken in their belief.
PV remained steadfast for the most part even when the game got out of hand. Three turnovers on? the first three possessions will do that. The visiting Eagles cashed in the first two miscues, taking a 14-0 lead with 9:43 left in the first quarter on a pair of Austin Clark TD runs.
Clark, the junior from West Valley (5-0), finished with five TDs, including four scores in the first half. His night ended with a staggering tally of 279 yards rushing on 16 carries with TD runs of 28, 10, 60, 2 and 65 yards. He also had two catches for 16 yards, and he picked off a PV pass for interception.
Despite Clark and six turnovers, PV didn't seem too dismayed. The Vikings, not just first-year coach Mark Cooley, said how they simply have to play better -- especially from the start.
PV (2-3) turned the ball over on the game's first play from scrimmage. The Eagles needed two plays to score.
The Vikings turned the ball over three plays later with an interception, the first of two straight picks for PV.? On the latter miscue, the PV defense held.
The Vikings, though, can't dig themselves a hole in future weeks. Against Paradise the week prior, the Vikings allowed a touchdown on the Bobcats' first play from scrimmage.
PV scored its touchdown on a 95-yard kickoff return from Matt Henderson in the third quarter.
Sam Savercool had an OK night with 92 yards rushing on 18 carries. But the passing game wasn't there basically night and the visitors to pick off three passes.
Zane Ferguson, the second-stringer, relieved starting quarterback Greg Darms briefly in the second quarter. The JV starter from last season then basically played the entire second half as well.
The road doesn't get any easier for PV as the Vikings travel next Friday to Palo Cedro for a game against Foothill. The Cougars fell at Paradise 53-25 Friday night.
