The Vipers fought hard and have shown a vast improvement so far this season. Unfortunately that wasn't enough for them to beat South Georgia as the Wildcats scored on the final play to win 59-55.
While doing my best to remain unbiased, I feel the call should have been given to the home team. It appeared Cecil Lester was pinned against the wall right before he crossed the goal line but the referees, due to an obstructed view, awarded the TD to the Wildcats. I can't, given the circumstances, blame him for the call although I didn't, and still don't, agree it was the right one.
"We had an opportunity to win the game and we let it slip away," Cokinos said. "We didn't take care of the ball. We turned it over twice down the stretch. Regardless of what happened on the last play, we didn't take care of the things we needed to take care of to win the game."
The heart-breaking loss is a hard one to stomach but I'm sure the Vipers will bounce back next week against the slumping Green Bay Blizzard.
