Spartan Tannon Gaydeski holds for kicker Mario Reyes (65) as another of Reyes’ kicks splits the uprights. Reyes was 4 for 4 on extra points and also nailed a 35-yard field goal to begin the game. It takes a stout offensive line, a good snap, a good hold, and a good kick, and the Spartans had it all Friday night as they defeated the Fishermen 37 to 33 before a large homecoming crowd.
