HOUSTON - As Todd Rankin is in the midst of his fourth season of leading the Stratford Spartans, he is trying to guide them back to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

On Friday night, the Spartans took a huge step towards that goal by knocking off Cy-Fair 30-17 at Tully Stadium. With the win, Stratford improves to 4-0 on the 2021 season. If the Spartans are able to keep the good times rolling on the west side, if they surpass six wins for the year, it would be the most since 2016 (7-4).
