Escambia agrees to two year contract with Vidor, Texas

Escambia High School announced late Friday that it would be hosting Vidor High School out of Texas to start the 2014 season.

Both schools have agreed to a two-year contract with Escambia hosting this season and Vidor hosting the Gators in 2015. The 2014 game will take place on the campus of Escambia High on August 30 with a kickoff slated for 4:00 PM Central Time.

Escambia was 7-4 overall last year that includes an appearance in a post-season bowl game. Escambia is also noted for having a huge game in the 2013 season against Rutherford of Panama City where they rushed for over 700 yards.

Vidor, which has a team mascot of the Pirates, was 4-6 in 2013, but did have success in 2012 finishing runner-up in Texas’ District 20-4A.

Escambia last year played Legacy High School out of Colorado to open the season. In that game the Gators won 43-19 as part of an event hosted by KSA Events at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex.
