After manhandling the Bishop Heelan Crusaders 31-7 on Friday, Spencer will look to extend their winning streak to three game they will hit the road on Friday night to Sioux Center to face off against the Warriors. In last year’s contest, Spencer pulled through in a tough contest, 17-7. Sioux Center comes in at 1-2 on the season losing their last two games.

SPENCER — From 2008-16 the Tigers only got the best of Bishop Heelan once, losing every other contest to the Crusaders. Since 2017 the tides have turned, as Heelan has yet to defeat Spencer. That wouldn’t change on Friday night, in the first drive of the game the Crusaders marched down the field after Brandon Watts ran in a 29-yard touchdown in the first few minutes of the contest to give Heelan the 7-0 lead.
