SCHENECTADY — The Tri-City Spartans used a strong ground game and scored 29 unanswered points to beat the Watertown Red and Black, 29-13, in an Empire Football League game Saturday night at Schenectady High School.
Tri-City scored three touchdowns on the ground and all of them were at least 28 yards as it netted 17 points in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
The Spartans fell behind early in the second quarter after the Red and Black (0-2) got on the board with a Joe Brennan eight-yard touchdown run, but Tri-City rushed the ball effectively to pick up its second straight victory to start the season.
