Halftime

Evan Nusbaum missed a 30-yard field goal attempt as time expired to send the teams to the locker room with Sweet Home leading 19-0.

The Spartans have been in nearly this position before. In the 2008 title game, Sweet Home took a 21-7 lead after the first quarter and 28-14 at halftime before the Panthers' second-half rally fell short, 35-28.

Sweet Home is starting the second half with the ball, and another quick score could be devastating. Burnt Hills will have to stop then and then respond quickly.

A student wearing a Spartans helmet (the Roman kind, not the football kind) is attempting to rally Burnt Hills fans in the stands. "We just drove three and a half hours," he shouted. "Every player better hear you when they come back on this field!"
