The Boardman 8th-grade Spartans football team remained unbeaten with their 32-6 victory over the Youngstown Defenders on Wednesday night. The Spartans were led by DJ Harper, who had a game to remember as Boardman improved to 3-0 on the season.
Things started slow for the Spartans as both teams were held scoreless in the first quarter. Boardman put together a solid drive to end the first quarter and start the second quarter, but the Spartans fumbled the ball. A Youngstown defender picked up the fumble and began racing down the sideline, but Trentan Clinkscale never gave up on the play. Clinkscale raced him down from behind and stripped the ball loose, with Cam Brown recovering for the Spartans at their 45-yard line.
On the very next play, DJ Harper found a hole on the outside thanks to some great blocks up front and raced 55 yards to the end zone to give Boardman a 6-0 lead.
With just :22 seconds left in the first half, the Spartans came up with another big play. On 4th down, Clinkscale took the handoff and then threw to TJ Pixley for a 25-yard gain, bringing the Spartans down to the Defenders' 9-yard line. On the final play of the half, Cam Brown threw a beautiful fade pass to Omar Askar in the back of the end zone for the touchdown, giving Boardman a 12-0 lead heading into halftime.
The Spartans came out firing in the second half, scoring 20 points in the third quarter alone.

Youngstown would answer with a 60-yard touchdown pass to narrow the Spartans' lead, but Boardman responded immediately. On the first play of the following offensive possession, Clinkscale raced 65 yards to the end zone for a touchdown, giving the Spartans a 26-6 advantage.
On the next Defenders possession, Harper came up with one of the biggest plays of the night. Harper picked off a pass one-handed, pinned the ball against his back and raced down the sideline for a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown. The incredible play gave Boardman a 32-6 lead.
The Spartans' defense would force the Defenders into a 4-and-out on their next possession, but due to lightning in the area, the game was called at the end of the third quarter, giving Boardman the 32-6 victory.
The Spartans finished the night with 251 yards rushing and 34 yards through the air. Harper led the way with 113 yards on just 4 carries and two rushing touchdowns.
