Orono 

The Spartans have teetered around .500 for the last several years, but that looks to be changing this year.

It may have been the week of the Spartan as this time it was Rocori who impressed. The Spartans went on the road to Hutchinson and blanked the Tigers as a first quarter touchdown was all they needed to win 11-0.
