Spartans roll past Christian County 44-0

It wasn’t always pretty, but the South Warren football team was good enough to easily handle Christian County 44-0 in the second round of the Class 6A state playoffs on Friday at South Warren High School. Despite almost 100 yards in penalties, South Warren (9-2) used a potent rushing attack and a nearly flawless defensive effort to stifle Christian County for the second time this season and advance to next week’s third round. “Overall I was really pleased,” South Warren coach Brandon Smith said. “I thought they did a nice job of preparing all week, practicing all week. You’d like to play a little cleaner there. Some of those penalties were penalties. We can’t make mistakes like that now that there is only eight teams left in 6A. It’s only going to get harder from here.” The Spartans beat Christian County 42-0 when the two teams met in September and Friday’s rematch was a similar one-sided affair.
