No. 17 Sylus Greenwood scores to put the Spartans up by six. Greenwood struggled to find the ball this game, but in crunch time he stepped up.

The C-Team football game on Tuesday Sept. 2nd, ended with a game-winning kick by freshman Kaitlyn Sparkman. Sparkman always gets her feet right before the kick. She tries not to look around much going up to the kick, so she is fully locked in on making the field goal. After the kick, the team celebrates with her she says, “After I kicked it, I was really excited,”

The C-Team is now 2-0, after defeating Lafayette 3-0 with another game-winning field goal by Sparkman.
