The 1978 Vicksburg Gators finished 10-2, with both losses coming at the hands of undefeated Meridian. The second was on a last-minute touchdown in the Big 8 Conference championship game.
The ‘78 Gators beat the 1978 version of Warren Central 73-62 in the first round of the Greatest on the Gridiron tournament. Now they’ll try to take down another championship-caliber Vikings squad in Round 2 of the Vikings Region.
