VIAN - The Wolverines scored six first half touchdowns on Friday night while romping to a 56-14 win over Colcord in the second round of the Class 2A football playoffs at St. John Stadium.

Seth Sloan passed for two touchdowns and returned a fumble 20 yards for another to get the Wolverines going and they went on to book a spot in the third round against the winner of Hobart and Alva.

A short touchdown run by Vfastv Locust capped Vian's first drive of the night before Sloan plucked a fumble out of midair and ran it in for another TD to make it 14-0. Vian led 21-0 when Sloan connected with Londell Taylor for a 65-yard TD pass to end the opening quarter.

Sloan then hit a 41-yard TD pass to Locust and Miguel Pratt raced 60 yards for another score. On the final play of the half, Tyren Samuels picked off a pass and returned it 91 yards to send the Wolverines to the locker room with a commanding 42-0 advantage.

Vian sealed the win in the second half with a one-yard touchdown run by Samuels and a 10-yard TD run by Miguel Pratt. Kicker Chris Peoples converted all eight of his extra-point attempts as Vian improved to 12-0 on the season.

No. 7-ranked Colcord finished its season with a record of 10-2.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
