Keaton Nolan heads for the end zone after taking a hand off from quarterback Evan Ingram during the Spartans' first home game of the season last Friday. For a second consecutive meeting the St. Joseph-Ogden football team posted a shutout against the Indians posting a 28-0 victory. Improving to 1-1 on the season, SJO travels to Charleston on Thursday to take on the Trojans in a non-conference contest.
Midfielder Carter Mabry boots the ball down the field in St. Joseph-Ogden's road soccer game at St. Thomas More on a windy Friday on March 19. Despite playing a disciplined game against the Sabers forcing them to earn every goal, the Spartans fell 3-0 in the conference battle.
