The Genesee County Spartans celebrated a successful semipro football season on Saturday night by honoring league all-stars and team offense and defense leaders at a banquet at TF Brown\u2019s Restaurant in Batavia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe set several goals prior to this season, and I\u2019m pleased to say we achieved them all,\u201d said Head Coach Harry Rascoe, noting that the Northeastern Football Alliance squad remained focused and disciplined on its way to a 7-3 overall record (6-3 in the league). \u201cIn just our second year, we were highly competitive, losing only to the champion Lockport Wildcats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rascoe recognized the efforts of Tammy Hathaway, board chairwoman, and Lauren Donovan, social media coordinator, for \u201cmaking my life easier by handling all of the responsibilities off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
