Spartans Win, Head to Championship Game at MetLife

The Spartans defeated Old Tappan in front of a huge crowd at Paramus High School. 

It was a battle down to the end. Matt Alpher kicked a field goal with under 40 seconds remaining to give the Spartans a 17-16 lead.

"I love that kid," said Quarterback Tyler Smith.

A few moments later, time ran out, the fans rushed the field and the players realized that they'll be going to MetLife Stadium to play Pascack Valley in the State Finals. 

"Any team you play this time of year is going to be tough," said Coach Dan Sabella. 

Sabella also quickly answered yes when asked if he was confident in his team.
