Spartans football picks up first win in years
For one side, Thursday’s game at Crusader Field was a long time coming. It was a huge win for a program that has struggled in the past and finally got over the hump.
For the other side, the game was full of mistakes on both sides of the ball, which was tough to see but also understandable given their youth.
The final was 38-28 for the Meadow Lake Spartans over the John Paul II Crusaders, and both teams now have 1-3 records on the season.
“We’ve gone two and a half seasons without a win, so that’s why it was a little extra special today,” Spartans head coach Sam Dawson said after the game. “It’s a huge boost. It’s a lot of positivity for these boys. They’ve been working really hard, day in, day out at practice.
