Spartans had a tough one against the Cy- Falls Golden Eagles on Thursday afternoon falling 31-8.
The first half saw the Spartan offense struggle to get a productive drive started. Cy-Falls capitalized on good field position and only 2 plays later found the end zone to get on the score board first. Golden Eagles scored again, despite a valiant effort by the line in front of the end zone. The line did hold & denied Cy-Falls the extra conversion points on their 2 additional touchdowns to end the half 18-0.
Unfortunately, it was more Cy-Falls in the 2nd half. Golden Eagles defense was not allowing the Spartan offense anything. Just when it looked like a shut out for Big Green, the offense put together a quality drive. With seconds left to go in the game-
Qb Jake Hearne had a magnificent 40 yd TD pass to Eli Aruor, who gave the extra effort to dive into the end zone.
Going for the conversion Hearne threw a swing pass to James Millan. Spartans on the board with 8 points to end the game & prevent a shut out.
