Spartan head coach Travis Zajac heaped praise on his assistant coaching staff–defensive coordinator Chris Conger; linemen coaches Scott Muller and Gary Knaack; and offensive/defensive backs coaches Jeff Dole and Nathan Hunt–for having the right gameplan in place to help the Spartan boys to a dominant victory.
  
"I lean on those guys like nobody's business," Zajac said. "They've helped me a ton in this transition as a new head coach. … These guys teach and motivate our kids and I give them as much flexibility and freedom as possible to make that happen. … The kids are excited but far from satisfied, and we move on into next week."
