It must have worked as the Darts took the ball 70 yards in 5 plays to score, and with Rodney Flood hitting the PAT Davis was 7-- 6.

Hank Howell split the uprights and Viewmont was on top Not to be outdone, the Darts moved the ball 84 yards capped d dive by Rob off by a Warden. Again, Flood converted on the PAT and it was 9 with 7:15 left in the game. Excitement filled the stadium. It was Davis homecoming and the Vikes could smell an upset. Seven minutes is more than enough time to go 70 yards, and the Darts hadnt been able to stop the Vikes. On this drive, however, the Darts were up to the test. Viewmont was able to move to the Darts 20 with :05 left. Quarterback Jason Burningham rolled y left and threw up an pass to the endzone. The prayer wasnt answered for the Vikes as Davis defensive back Travis Jackson came down with an interception as time ran out. We missed alot of tackles out there. After looking at the films, we were in the right places but were just doing alot of arm tackling, said Dickson. I was pleased with out special teams play and we only had two penalities for 28 yards while they (Viewmont) had nine for 60 yards, said the Davis mentor. They came after us and did a good job, he added. The Vikes had 358 total yards; 90 passing and 268 rushing.
