The victory is a sweet one for Spring Mills (8-0), which came up just three points short of defeating Morgantown (5-1) for the AAAA last winter.

Now, with a victory under their belt against Morgantown, Spring Mills look to be confident as the season progresses. The Cardinals improved to 8-0 on the season after Tuesday night's result.
