Duane,

Thank you for forwarding me this update.  It was very enjoyable experience to return to Cold Spring this past Friday for what turned out to be a very successful  athletic/community event.  I take great pride in having the opportunity to provide the pre-game pep talk and hope that the words of my speech resonate in those that heard it in those times of need.  As a Rocori High School graduate, I will continue to do all I can to promote that of what builds Spartan Pride!

May the legacy continue to build.

Troy D. Eichers, (Coach T)

The Spartans took a 17 point lead into the second half, but a turnover and a fluke touchdown pulled Apollo within 10 points. The Eagles success can be attributed to their ability to run the ball to the left side. However, some adjustments by the Spartan defense, and a phenomenal touchdown run by Nick Schneider sealed the win for the Spartans as they got coach Baumgarten his first win in the CLC. Watch the highlights of the second half and stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI for more coverage of Spartan football and other Spartan Fall sports.
