A SAN FRANCISCO TREAT

SAN JOSE GETS PAST THE WILDCATS FROM ARIZONA AND CAPTURE EMERALD BOWL

SAN FRANCISCO, CA-- IT WAS A SEASON OF FIRST FOR THE SPARTANS. IT WAS HEAD COACH EDDIE POLLY'S FIRST HEAD COACHING GIG. IT WAS THE TEAMS FIRST WIN AT BOISE. IT WAS ALSO THE TEAMS FIRST SHARE OF A CONFERENCE TITLE SINCE JOINING DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL. NOW IT WAS SAN JOSE'S FIRST 10 WIN SEASON SINCE 1987.

"WHAT A YEAR" SAID HEAD COACH EDDIE POLLY, "THESE KIDS BOUGHT INTO WHAT WE WANTED TO DO AND ITS PAID OFF WITH A BOWL WIN"

POLLY SIGNED A 5 YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION BEFORE THE BOWL GAME AND QUIETED ALL RUMORS AND SPECULATION OF HIM LEAVING FOR GEORGIA OR ARKANSAS.

"IM A FIRM BELIEVER OF FINISHING WHAT YOU START, WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO GET THIS PROGRAM ON THE NATIONAL AND THIS SEASON WAS A BIG STEP IN GETTING US THERE."

With Mike Stoops and a solid wildcat team coming into town the Emerald bowl was a great game to watch. Although Quarterback Faulkner essentially got the Spartans to the bowl season Polly elected to start SR. J. La Secla. But midway through the first quarter La Secla through his second interception of the game this one returned 49 yards for the score putting Arizona up 7-0 in a tight defensive ball game. The interception was cause for change and Faulkner was the answer. Faulkner would drive the Spartans on a 13 play 6 minute drive and tie the game on a two yard touchdown pass to receiver J. Orth. At the half it was tied at 7.
The second half started with big time hits by none other middle linebacker P. Festejo the ncaa tackler leader this season. Festejo made a crushing hit on quarterback N. Foles as Arizona got into the red zone, the hit caused a bad pass and cornerback R. Yell would grab the interception.
Late in the fourth with zona up 14-10 Faulkner would start another historically drive. This would be another 13 play drive that saw running back D. Freeman slowly wear down this defense while faulkner and the playaction would complete five third downs ending in a 1 yard plunge by Freeman to give the Spartans the go ahead 17-14 lead and the win.

SPARTANS FINALIZE RECRUITS

SAN JOSE, CA-- As expected The San Jose Spartans aren't in the hurry to bring in 5 star recruits. Instead Coach Polly intends to build up with better than average players until the program is established enough to go after the top high school recruits. With that said the Spartans only signed seven recruits this off season that include six three stars and one two star. The class is headlined by Outside Linebacker Brad Hill who looks to be possibly seeing significant playing time this coming season.

"With Festejo gone to graduation, Brad looks to be his successor" Said Head Coach Eddie Polly at the signing day Luncheon." Brad has the size and skill set to come in contribute and be a young leader for this program, we expect big things from him."

The Spartans looked for size as well as hidden gems like three star receiver Aaron Arnold out of Davis California, Arnold is a big body and should bring added help to an already deep receiving core. Defensive Tackle Joe Mills is a man amongst boys, although small in hieght at 6'1 mills brings a solid 287 pounds and will be that plug in the middle this defense was missing last season.

"Mills is a tweener, we feel he can come down to in the middle for run support but he can also go to edge for us at end and has good speed for his size" Stated Polly.

Here's how the class shapes up.

FREE SAFETY TONY BEARD (6'2 189) MAPLE SHADE, NJ 2*
QUARTERBACK MATT CROSS (6'2 190) GLENDALE, CA 3*
D-TACKLE JOE MILLS (6'1 287) OGDEN, UT 3*
RECEIVER AARON ARNOLD (6'4 210) DAVIS, CA 3*
OUTSIDE BACKER BRAD HILL (6'2 216) SARATOGA, NY 3*
STRONG SAFETY MICHAEL SIMMONS (6'2 210) ANAHEIM, CA 3*
TACKLE DANNY SMITH (6'3 294) PALM SPRINGS, CA 3*
