V-Tigers roll over Parkway, 47-zip
By Dean Eversole
It was all Versailles Friday night at Parkway as the Tigers rolled to
an easy 47-0, but that is only a part of the story.
The real story is the Tigers' defense. In the beginning (of the
season), it was ugly. Receivers were running open, touchdowns were
being scored and many Versailles' fans were scratching their heads. But
since the second half of the Anna game, the Tigers have surrendered 21
points in their last ten quarters. Six of those points came a fluke
play.
Friday night Parkway ran 16 first half plays, 8 of those plays resulted
in negative yards. It wasn't until late in the game that Parkway
managed any resemblance of an offensive. It is this type of play
that Coach Adam Miller envisioned when took over the reigns at
Versailles.
"The last few weeks we have been getting very close and tonight we took
care of the issues. The end result was a shutout tonight."
After starting the season 1-2 Versailles was being written off, but now
at 4-2 the Tigers are in position to earn another playoff spot.
However, it won't be easy. They will likely need to win out and that
means beating Delphos St. Johns, Minster and St. Henry. Last year the
Tigers faced a similar situation, only time will tell if they can
duplicate the feat.
