In a tight defensive contest, the Avery Vikings earned a hard fought 1-0 victory over Madison in Marshall Wednesday night.The teams played to a scoreless tie after the first half on the bumpy and rocky surface of O.E. Roberts Stadium. Eventually the Vikings broke through on Madison's Senior Night, as Kyle Griewisch took a pass and scored on the Patriots keeper in the 65th minute to score the only goal of the match.
Avery senior keeper Morgan Bounds and the Vikings defense extends its shutout streak to four games, all in conference play, as the Vikings improve to 12-5-2 overall and 8-3 in Western Highlands Conference play. Avery returns home for Senior Night this Monday against the Mountain Heritage Cougars, then finish the regular season with matches at Mitchell on October 28th and at Polk County on Thursday, the 29th.
