The curtain closed on the Sumner Spartans’ football season Friday night, putting an end to a disappointing season.

With a 30-7 loss to the playoff-bound White River Hornets, Sumner finished with an overall mark of 3-6, including a 2-5 record in South Puget Sound League play.

After opening the season on an impressive note, winning two of three games, the injury-plagued Spartans dropped five of their final six.

Friday night’s season finale, played at Sunset Chev Stadium, saw the visiting Hornets jump out to a 14-0 halftime lead.

That’s when the Spartans made things interesting, slicing the margin when Lokahi Kamau scored on a 14-yard touchdown gallop.

But that would be the end of the Spartan celebrating. White River tacked on two more touchdowns and a late safety rounded out the night’s scoring.

The Spartans managed to run for 229 yards but were held to just 66 through the air, for a total of 295. White River accounted for nearly 400 yards to total offense, running for 264 and passing for another 120.

White River’s season continues with a Friday night contest against Interlake of the KingCo 3A/2A Conference. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Buckley.
