"With some nerves and a slow start it was good to see that this team was willing to fight no matter what situation they faced and their resiliency and perseverance payed off in the end,” said Head Coach Shawn Sorenson of the Spartans.  “Our defense improved throughout the game and that helped our offense get going.  Once we started to take care of the ball and make the extra pass we kept it rolling.  Great team win with balanced scoring and positive energy from all of our players and fans!"
