What comes to your mind when you think of Spartan football? I can guarantee that most people think of Friday nights, tailgating, and pep rallies- High School football. However, our Junior High football is just as important at GACS, if not more so because it represents potential and the future of football as we know it.

Varsity Head Coach Ken Robinson says, “Our junior high teams are extremely talented. Our eighth grade team had thirty-two players this past season. Our seventh grade had thirty-seven players. We expect the majority of these young men to continue on into our high school program next year and beyond.”

Our seventh grade team won three games and lost three games and our eighth grade team won five games, lost two games, and tied in one game. As with all our teams, however, more important than the final score is the spiritual emphasis. Coach Robinson adds, “I felt that our junior high teams were very successful this past season. We were successful on the scoreboard, but more importantly in areas that will matter for eternity.”
