South Caldwell running back Spencer Piercy (6) has graduated but the Spartans will take another shot at Bandys this season in a non-conference game scheduled Sept. 10 in Hudson. It will be the eighth meeting of the two rivals, and the fourth at South Caldwell. Bandys leads the series 4-2 and there was one “no content” when the 1995 game was stopped in the third quarter by rain./MICHELLE THOMPSON PHOTO
