"We have been one of the smallest 7A teams since the AHSAA adopted the seven class system in 2014," Spartans head coach Chris Yeager said. "Competing against schools twice our size we embraced the challenge, and always tried to come up with innovative ways to adapt. We look forward to taking all of the things we learned and using them in this next challenge. There are great players and teams in 6A. We are excited about the new challenges and opportunities."
