Summary:
          Vigor rolled up a record 606 yards offense, Kendall Houston and Jalston Fowler scored three touchdowns each and the Wolves outscored Russellville 50-30 for the Class 5A state championship. Vigor won its first title since 1988 as it held Russellville to minus eleven yards rushing on the night.
           Russellville found themselves down 21-3 in the second quarter before rallying to take a 23-21 lead when Mason Willis caught an 8-yard pass from Joey Howe with 10:49 left in the third.
          But Vigor came storming back with four straight touchdowns to put the game out of reach. MVP Houston, with 180 yards on 26 carries and Fowler with 163 yards on 17 carries proved to be too much for the Golden Tigers.
