After getting its first notch in the win column following its dominant victory over River Valley, Alexander must keep its momentum rolling as it plays its final road game of the season.
The Spartans travel to Vinton County on Friday to take on the Vikings in the fifth game of the shortened six-game season, and Alexander’s main focus is to get the offense into the same rhythm it found against the Raiders.
Controlling last week’s game showed what the Spartans are capable of offensively. Now they are looking to show that they can string great offensive performances together.
It will be a tougher challenge than last week, considering the Vikings have played better this season than River Valley and the Spartans will be on the road this week instead of playing in Albany. But if the offense continues to lean on the legs of Xander Karagosian and Logan Neal, then it may be able to lead Alexander to its second victory.
