Just when it looked like Riverwatch was about to repeat as county champion, Vickery Creek had other plans. Down by a point with under four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Vickery Creek quarterback Zach Burns captained a 68-yard drive that ended with him stretching the ball across the goal line with 36 seconds on the clock, as the Vipers knocked off unbeaten Riverwatch 14-7 in a rematch of the 2011 Forsyth County middle school championship on Tuesday night at Lambert High School. The Vipers’ championship is their fourth in school history and the first since they won back-to-back titles in 2007 and 2008.
