The Spartans would start the fourth quarter of with a touchdown by Jacob Ledesma, who finished the game with two touchdowns. Americas would finally score another touchdown, but Spartans would follow up with a touchdown from Erik Marin. 

“It feels good, winning against some pretty good teams,” said Ledesma shortly after the win. “We don’t really prepare for anything, we just go out there and play ball,” Ledesma said about preparations for next week.

According to juniors Ricardo Gallegos, Diego and Dallas Salazar, today was a great win and they were locked and prepared for this game.

Pebble Hills, who is 4-1 in district prepares for their final home game against the visiting Montwood Rams Friday at 7:00 p.m. Oct. 29 at the SAC.

“We feel great, this winning streak keeps us going and it comes down to practice, and working out during practice, and that’s what we’re going to do.”
