V. rooters as they slowly left the Spartan foot- ball field after the Castro Valley-Sunset game. The Spartan linemen fought hard, actually defeating the Falcons statistically, but their defense was not strong enough to prevent Sunset from gaining a 12-6 win. Losing their first game, though, was not to discourage them from fighting to other vic- tories. C.V.

Discouraging as it was, the game proved to be even more important as it turned into the half game that prevented C.V. from tying for first place in the HAAL champ- ionship. Arroyo's seven points came as they took advantage of two 5 yard penalties against C.V. The only other scoring that took place was the tying touchdown made by Teifify Lowe after Rick Mahannah intercepted and Arroyan pass. C.V.AR.
