The game ended at the half with a forfeit by Spur. According to Spur ISD Superintendent Craig Hamilton, the game was forfeited because five players were left on the field, and the school did not want to take a chance on any of the remaining players being injured with district play starting next week.
The Bulldogs face Valley October 20 to start district play on the road.
