Streak: The Spartans are on a streak of seven straight losing seasons.

Statistic: Quarterback Casey Teagarden completed 12 of 21 passes for 189 yards against Greensburg Salem last week.

Strategy: Hempfield hopes to shore up a pass defense that allowed 226 yards in its season opener.

Speaking: "The biggest plus I have going here is I've put together about 100 years of coaching experience on this staff. We'll need a huge shipment of Geritol before each game, but we'll have fun." - Hempfield coach Greg Meisner.
