Not since the 2005-06 season have the Spartans lost to a La Crosse school and this year’s Spartans ensured that streak would at least continue into 2017 after a 67-6 dismantling of La Crosse Aquinas this past Thursday night at Aquinas.
The Spartans own a 23-4 all-time record against the Blugolds and have won 11 straight since a 40-30 loss during the 2005-06 season. This year there was no doubt as the Spartans won 12 of 14 including six by forfeit and four by pin.
Winning by forfeit for the Spartans was Austin Zweifel, Blake Brooks, Jakob Larson, Jon Bailey, Jaden Winchel and James Gann. Winning by pin for the Spartans were Kyle Erickson, Brett Von Ruden, Hayden Krein and Matt Fahning. Full match results are below…
