Dont just back into the playoffs...knock the frickin door down

Knights 34-Spartans 24

The Spartans had more to lose and needed a win to get into the playoff hunt, we needed to make a statement. The offense got back on track and out running game. However this game showed the teams character, as they came back from 6-0 1st quarter deficit, and being down 24-20 at halftime. Peyton scored 2tds rushing and Jake had 3 more. The offense had a great 2 minute drive at halftime scoring with 17 seconds left. A fluke TD on a fumble return game the Spartans a 24-20 halftime lead, however they were shut out in the second half.

A big win as the 1st season comes to a close and the second season (post season) begins. In a weird scheduling quirk, we play the Knights in the 1st round. See our teams were split due to size and the other team (Called "Gold"...we are called "Red") and they were placed in a different division. Well as things turned out they went 6-1 and are the #2 seed and we are #3. We scrimmaged them several times during the season at practice and always seemed to get the best of them. I'd say we beat them 12 out of 13 times. Their head coach seems obsessed this week with beating me, even telling some of my parents "We are going to kill you guys Saturday". He scouted the spartan game, marking down every play we ran. (Of course he has seen every play we run in our scrimmages). Well. Almost every play. I may have a few tricks up my sleeve.

Regardless the game will be good for the system because one team for the Knights will advance. Since I am the lower seed, I will be the visiting team. That will be odd if we play at the High School. I'll be on the opposite sideline.
