| Lincoln, NE - Lincoln North Star turned back the Spartans 40-21.
Just when the Spartans were ready to break out and play some football after a great Southeast game, Junior quarterback Jim Ebke goes down with a shoulder injury and Harry Meginnis scares his team and fans after being hit hard on a kick off return. The Spartans never recovered defensively and like several ball games earlier in the year, East gave up big yardage and big scores to North Star.
Quin Kilgore and Mike Goettle were determined not to give up and came away with career days. Quin Kilgore ran the offense with precision and ran 88 yards on 15 carries for a touchdown. Goettle himself traveled 64 yards on the ground and a touchdown and received 2 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown.
The frustrated Spartans will re-group to take on the Rockets next.
