With the hope of playoffs gone for the Spartans in the 2020 season, Alexander is still looking to end its season on a high note with a win over a longtime rival.
The Spartans (1-4, 1-3 Tri-Valley Conference-Ohio) return home for their final game of the season to take on Meigs.
This season has been one full of growing pains for Alexander, but if it could end 2020 by sending its six seniors off with a final home win over the rival Marauders, it would help alleviate the pain of missing out on postseason football.
The biggest goal for the Spartans in this game is to see who are the building blocks for the team next season, as many players, including Xander Karagosian, Jagger Cain, Logan Jenkins and more have shown flashes of being consistent producers for Alexander in the future.
Here’s everything you need to know heading into the game:
