Vikings overwhelm Conchs in opening round of playoffs

Closing out a third consecutive playoff season, the Key West High football team ran into a Bishop Verot that proved every bit as formidable as its reputation, as the Vikings scored touchdowns on their first seven offensive possessions, building an insurmountable lead before rolling to a 47-7 victory versus the Conchs in an FHSAA Region 4-3A quarterfinal on Friday, Nov. 13, in Fort Myers. Bishop Verot’s balanced, no-huddle attack kept Key West on its heels throughout the night as the Vikings quarterback completed all nine of his passes for 138 yards and a touchdown, while the ground attack powered the victory with four rushing touchdowns. The Conchs (4-7 overall) had an opportunity to make the game competitive early, putting together a promising drive after falling behind 14-0. A 36-yard run helped move Key West inside Bishop Verot’s 30-yard line, but a fumble ended the possession without points. The missed opportunity quickly became a turning point. Bishop Verot answered with another touchdown, then recovered an onside kick and scored again, turning what could have been a 14-7 game into a 28-0 deficit in a matter of possessions. The Vikings continued to dictate the pace, executing their no-huddle offense while finding success
