9/23/06 Cooney Edges Spartans 14-7!
The West Spartans suffered their first loss of the season today to the undefeated Oconomowoc Purple squad 14-7. Unfortunately, West had several long plays called back on questionable calls from officials that would have made the game much more interesting. With the young Spartans down 14-0 at the end of the third quarter, Derek Hall hit WR Andrew Duening on a post route for a 56 yard TD. After a Hall to Jake Duening pass for extra point, West was down 14-7 at the start of the 4th quarter. The Spartans (1-1-1) then had a chance to tie the score after recovering a fumble late in the game, but the Coons turned them back to move their record to 3-0. Kyle Krier and Justin Wagner also came through with some nice plays on offense and on defense, the team was led by Devin Ziarkowski (8 tackles), Kolton Young and Hall (each with 5 tackles), Jake Thomas (4 tackles and 1 sack) and Bryce Schmidt (3 tackles). Nathan Boldt, Aric Miller and Austin Wolford also played well in the defensive secondary. The team returns to more friendly confines this week as it hosts the RandomLake Rams Saturday at 1:30PM.
 
 
9/16/06 Spartans Win!
The Spartan 5th Graders were victorious today, defeating the Lake Country Black team 12-0 at Arrowhead Stadium. It was another strong defensive effort, led by James Frasheski, Jake Thomas, Kolton Young, Nathan Boldt, Derek Hall, Kyle Krier, Ryan Morrison and Trent Woeckner, that really set the tone. Andrew Duening scored the first passing TD of the season for the Spartans on a 19 strike from Hall in the 1st quarter. The other score came in the 4th quarter when Kyle Krier made a nice interception and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown. Woeckner also had an interception to stop Lake Country on the last play of the game. The Spartans travel to Oconomowoc this week to play the Cooney.
 
9/9/06 Spartans Tie in Opener
The West Bend West Spartans 5th Grade football team opened the 2006 season with a 6-6 tie today against an athletic Mukwonago Gold squad. Behind the strong blocking of Abdrew Riehl, Jon Goetz, Brad Rindfieish, Chandler Peterson and Bryce Schmidt, Derek Hall was able to pound it in for a 4 yard TD to give the Spartans a 6-0 lead late in the second quarter. The Spartan defense held their opponent to negative yards until late in the 4th quarter when Mukwonago was able to pass the ball to their tight end who took it in stride and race 96 yards to paydirt with 34 seconds to go in the game. The score came just after West was trying to seal the victory on Mukwonago's one yard line as they were in a second and goal situation when Hall and FB Jake Duening had a miscommunication in the backfield and the resulting fumble handed the ball back to Mukwonago with under a minute left. The late score ruined what was otherwise a superior defensive effort by the Spartans. Mukwonago in fact, did not have even one positive yard of offense prior to the long pass. One bright spot for the home team was Andrew Duening who made a nice catch for a 22 yard reception in the second quarter. Defensively the Spartans were led by Hall, Nathan Boldt, Goetz, Austyn Wolford, Aric Miller and Alec Miller. The Spartans look to get their first win next week as they travel to Hartland to play a tough Lake Country Black team. The LC Black team defeated the Brookfield East Navy team 19-0 last week.
