The first quarter ended with the Vikings and Mustangs tied at 6-6. Avoyelles outscored Vidalia 24-16 in the second quarter to take a 30-22 lead into the locker room at halftime. "We had a really bad second quarter, making way too many mental mistakes," Sanders said. The Vikings cut that lead to 38-37 after three periods, but were outscored 21-18 in the final period. Deion Brown led Vidalia with 15 points, while Terrell Virgis added 14. The Vikings, 5-15, are now 2-2 in District 3-3A play. "We must win out at home and steal a couple on the road," Sanders said.
