In the final game of the season for both the Roger Bacon Spartans and the Purcell Marian Cavaliers, the Spartans won big, 52-13, in front of their home crowd.
Both teams were 1-8 and came into the game after losses last week. So, both were looking to end their season on a positive note. Unfortunately the Cavaliers will have to wait until next year to win one after dropping eight straight games to finish the season. As for the Spartans, it was a great way to end the season and a great way to send off the seinors.
The Spartans jumped out to a 21-0 lead early in the game but the Cavaliers would eventually put some points on the board to avoid being shut out. The Cavaliers just couldn't get anything going and seemed to down on themselves after the Spartans jumped out in front. The Spartans just seemed to have the edge physically as they were just bigger and faster than the Cavaliers.
Congratulations to the seinors on both teams. As a former high school football player, I know what it's like to put in all that time and hard work. There's nothing like going out in front of your close friends and family and playing under the bright lights on Friday nights. While some teams will be heading to the playoffs, there are those who will be heading into the off season. Congratulations to those of you who have made the post season. And to those of you who are done for the year, get ready because next season will be here before you know it.
