Saturday proved to be a bad day for the Homestead Spartans. They squared off against 4-4 LaPorte. In past seasons, the two teams have been relatively equal, and this game proved that trend is still alive.
The game began with LaPorte going up 3 to 0 early. Homestead's William Wright, and Sophomore attackmen tallied two goals to bring the Spartans within 1. The first half remained low scoring, and ending at 3-2 LaPorte.
Fierce competition led to the game getting somewhat out of control in the third quarter. Players began to rack up cheap penalties and play became extremely physical. At one point in time, a fight nearly broke out between multiple players from both sides, and a referee time-out was called in an attempt to restore order. During which, LaPorte fans began to heckle the Homestead bench and the game's officials, which led to both coaches asking all fans to remain civil.
Once order was restored and players began to focus on scoring rather than big hits, both teams showcased their abilities. The second half consisted of one team scoring and then the other quickly matching the tally. In the end, however, LaPorte managed to gain a 8-7 lead with about two minutes remaining, and were able to maintain possession until time ran out.
