Moberly flipped the script on Osage in the second half and held on for a 21-14 victory Friday night at Osage.
Osage looked to capitalize on a late drive in the fourth quarter, but the Spartan defense held strong. The Spartans had a sluggish start, yet they managed to tag along with Osage before taking a seven point lead early in the fourth.
