WR Maurice Brown
Tennessee Valley scored it's seventh consecutive victory with a 64-48 win over Lexington last Friday night. The Vipers (7-3) recorded seven sacks and three safeties in the win. The three safeties ties an af2 record. Lexington (6-5) never got in sync offensively as the Vipers defense kept newly acquired quarterback Ryan Mitch scrambled throughout the game. Mitch threw for five scores and two picks in the loss. Tennessee Valley signal caller Kevin Eakin countered with six passing scores, four to Maurice Brown.
Brown has been exceptional lately for the Vipers. The former AFL receiver ranks in the af2 top ten in receptions and yards per game receiving.
Much to the surprise of Vipers fans, Henry "Freebird" Freeman suited back up for the defense. Freeman recorded an interception and led the team in tackles with 8.5 on the night.
Also, Terrance Ford showed his power early and often against the Lexington. Ford picked up four sacks alone and two of the three safeties.
Eric Scott continued his dominance of opposing offensive lines. Scott got to Mitch twice, had a pass break up, forced fumble and blocked extra point that resulted in a safety. Scott also became the Vipers single-season sack record holder. His 14 is just four shy of the Vipers career record held by Eugene Phillips.
Tennessee Valley travels to take on the league's most potent offense next week in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania.
