Spartans get the win 14-13
VENTURA, CA — Football may be the game of inches. Although, in the Channel League this fall, it has been a race of instants. “It came down to the 'club,' ” said Rio Mesa head coach Jim Bittner, referencing Gonzales’ black cast. It was the second straight one-point game for Rio Mesa, which fell at Santa Barbara last week when an open running lane closed up in an instant on the game-deciding conversion run in overtime. “Everything does really matter in this game,” said Rio Mesa center Anthony Garcia.
