BLACKSBURG -- You
don't always need horses to win football
games. Sometimes all it takes are
"Mules."
That's what Salem calls its beasts of
burden, and Friday night the offensive
line carried a major load as the
unbeaten Spartans continued their early
domination of the River Ridge District
with a 21-0 thrashing of Blacksburg.
Salem (7-0, 2-0)
controlled the line of scrimmage, the
clock, the ball and everyone in a blue
Blacksburg uniform to run its
regular-season winning streak to 31
games.
