Vandegrift had little trouble with the Dragons as the Vipers dominated in all three phases with its special teams taking center stage. This game is one of many dominating performances for Vandegrift this year who coming into this matchup were winning by an average of 33.3 points per game.
After getting out to a 7-0 lead following a 13 yard Round Rock punt in the 1st quarter, Vandegrift would score on the first play of the 2nd quarter on a 12 yard out route by North Texas commit Miles Coleman, for his 9th touchdown of the season.
Vandegrift would get the ball back minutes later and quickly drive down the field and score a touchdown making it 21-0 following a 30 yard screen to Coleman that put the Vipers inside the 10 yard line.
The Dragons offense struggled throughout the contest had to punt and with five minutes left in the half. Coleman turned on the jets, racing through the middle of the field taking the punt back 68 yards for a touchdown, making it 28-0.
Another drive stalled for Round Rock, so it had to punt to the dangerous return man Coleman once again who made them pay. After a missed tackle from the coverage unit, Coleman followed his blockers down the sideline and then cut up field to take it to the house, putting the game out of reach at 35-0.
With two minutes remaining in the half, Round Rock, led by senior dual-threat quarterback Mason Cochran, drove down the field to set up a 45 yard field by junior Kai Haruki as time expired.
