Coming out of halftime, things started to heat up with both teams scoring touchdowns, making the score 14-10 in the Spartans’ favor.
Down the stretch, Southwest managed to hold East to 4th & 7. The Spartans made the gutsy call to go for it instead of kicking a field goal to go up by 7.

The Spartans move to 3-1 on the season, while the Silver Hawks fall to 0-4.
