Although winning only two of ten games, the Spartans showed lots of potential for the coming year. Coach Dave Steorts blended a top- notch-defense with a varied offensive at- tack to give opponents all they could handle. With nine returning lettermen, Giles should continue climbing the ladder in the New River District.
