Although an undefeated San Ramon Valley football team entered Friday night’s game at De La Salle with high hopes, the Wolves were the equivalent of a batter digging in against Madison Bumgarner and starting with an 0-2 count.
The host Spartans, who haven’t lost to a Northern California opponent in more than a quarter century, had an extra week to prepare, thanks to a bye in the schedule.
And they had the memory of nearly losing a one-point game to San Ramon Valley last season.
When Taveis Marshall scored on the first of his two pick-sixes early in the second quarter, the Spartans grabbed a two-score lead and it was strike three for the Wolves.
