The basketballs season got off and running for the Salida Spartans on Friday when they hosted the Del Norte Tigers.
The Lady Spartans would struggle with turnovers against the 5th ranked 2A Tigers, but would find some offense late in the game before falling 69-25. Six Spartans would score in the game, including a team high eight from sophomore Toby Lawson.
The boys game would have a different feel to it, as the Spartans would use an aggressive defense to force turnovers and behind a double double from Leif Gislason and a 20 point night from Myles Godina the Spartans started the season 1-0.
