SPARTANS vs. Wilsonville Wildcats 


Round 1 of the OSAA Playoffs
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH @ 7PM

Crowds will once again flock to Spartan Stadium Friday Evening as the Boys Varsity football team advances to the next level of the OSAA Playoffs - Round 1!
Our pep band will be sitting this game out and our CHS D R U M L I N E will provide the pep support to charge the stadium and declare it a "groove" zone! The crowd in attendance at last week's victory over Churchill was really into our DRUMLINE's performance....DRUMLINE:  we appreciate your efforts! Your hard work was evident in your halftime show!
Thanks for supporting our Spartans for this week's game!
Spartans have the home field advantage for Round 1, but the Wildcats enter Spartan Stadium with a 8-2 record, with losses only to #1 ranked Sherwood and #6 ranked Lebanon. Look for another evening of intense high school football action. Be looking for another dose of Spartan Magic compliments of our faithful Spartan athletes!
