The Northland Prep Spartans boys soccer team took on the Camp Verde Cowboys on Friday at Sinagua Middle School with a chance to get to the 2A Conference state tournament on the line. 12 Spartans, going against the fifth-ranked Cowboys, but ultimately the Spartans couldn't hang on in a 2-0 loss. The game started in the Cowboys favor, as visiting Camp Verde did a good job of holding position in the Spartans half, but the host held strong outside their 18-yard box. Camp Verde would take the lead on a goal as the ball slipped past the outstretched hand of senior goalkeeper Connor Barta. The Spartans honored their seniors at halftime, fans surely hoping that it would inspire the team to a victory to give the seniors at least another game.
