Andress 13, Pebble Hills 34 Final
Pebble Hills showed it will be a force in its first season with a senior class after the Spartans beat Andress to move to 2-0 on the season. Andress jumped out to an early 7-0 lead and looked like they might tack on another score when Jonas Christmas of Pebble Hills intercepted a pass and took it back close to the Andress 20-yard line. Orlando Puig then threw a touchdown pass to Haredt Gonzalez to tie the game. The Spartans then took a lead they would never relinquish later in the first half on a Caleb Gerber rushing TD. Andress is now 1-1 after the loss.
