On Friday, two winless teams will enter, but only one will come away with their first win of the season.
Alexander will play its first home game since the season opener against River Valley in a battle of two 0-3 teams.
The winner of this game will not only capture their first win of the season but also keep themselves out of last place in the Tri-Valley Conference (Ohio) standings.
The Spartans are entering this game after a tough 40-0 loss to the undefeated Wellston. It was another game where they showed flashes of a good team, as Alexander only trailed 6-0 at the half, but could not put it all together, and things began to unravel for them.
The Spartans look to bounce back from that loss and finally get their first win of the season.
