Hey Spartans,
And so it begins! Today we release **Game 1** of our 25-0 state championship run.
On Friday, December 7, 2001, we kicked off the season under the lights at the Fargodome against crosstown rival Fargo South. Coming off the hunger of the previous season's heartbreak, we set the tone for what was to come with a commanding 64-37 win.
