Smoky Valley Football vs Larned 9-8-17

With second week of football, some schools enjoy their first home game. The Smoky Valley Vikings traveled to Larned for the Indians first home game which was also their Homecoming festivities.

The hosts received the opening kick off and proceeded to march down the field for a touchdown. Smoky Valley tried to respond, but they could not find a reliable way to shut down the Larned rushing attack.

By the end of the night, the Indians recorded their first victory of the night winning the game over Smoky Valley by a score of 28 to 14.
