Quarterback David Short threw for 208 yards and three touchdowns Saturday afternoon, leading the No. 8 Wichita Falls Vipers to a 36-13 win over the No. 10 Waco Thunder in a battle of Minor Professional Football League North Division rivals.
Short connected with wide receiver Denis Short on passes of 15 and 8 yards, and a 16-yard strike to wideout Heath Jones.
Lonta Hobbs, a former TCU product, rushed for 70 yards and pounded in a 9-yard score, while teammate Steven Harper rumbled for 98 yards and a 22-yard rushing TD. As a team the Vipers racked up 220 yards on the ground in a well-rounded offensive attack.
"We're very balanced offensively and consistently moving the ball," Vipers coach Rick Taylor said. "Our defense put a lot of pressure on them, and the secondary got us some coverage sacks."
The Vipers held the Thunder to just 177 offensive yards — 99 rushing, 78 passing — racked up five sacks and picked off the QB three times.
Former Midwestern State player Brandon Minniefield led the team with seven-and-a-half tackles and one INT, Trent Branch had six tackles and an interception, Roderick Davis had six-and-a-half tackles and a sack, John Brown had an INT and Chasley Walker and Omar Jones both recorded a pair of sacks.
The Vipers (4-0) will next travel to take on the Sun City Noels in El Paso, Texas.
