The Vidor Pirates jumped out to a 21-0 lead and never looked back as they cruised to a 42- 14 victory over the Ozen Panthers Monday night at

The Butch. The Pirates dominated the Panthers in the lightning delayed district matchup as Vidor’s running game shredded the Ozen defense and the Pirate defense held the Panthers to just 14 second half points. Vidor received and ran off five minutes on the opening drive of 62 yards to score at 7:06 in the first quarter.

Kelby Odom was the workhorse on the drive, scoring the TD and 2 point conversion, but Coach Jeff Mathews took advantage of his talented backfield with Zach Dahlenburg, Brad Nunez, and Keaton Jones each being used in the drive.

When the football practice began in August, little did anyone know what this year would hold in store for the city of Vidor. People were making plans for the future. Houses were being built. People were working their jobs taking care of their families. Children were preparing to start back to school.

Life was good in Vidor, Texas. Neighbors helped neighbors. Churches were busy with activities and praising God. Labor Day weekend was just around the corner. Football season would soon begin. Plans were being made to celebrate on the lake, with a barbque, with family. Life was busy. Things were normal.
