Gonzales Spartans started the first game of the Art Berlanga era at home vs the Fremont Tigers out of Oakland. The game was hard fought in the beginning with the score 8-7 at the first quarter, with the Spartans striking first. The Tigers showed why they make playoffs every year as their physicality wore down the Spartans. The game slipped out of the Spartans reach early in the second half and ended with a score of 62 – 7. Only varsity played that night, Aug 25, with JV playing away vs Wilcox HS of Santa Clara the following day.
