Chapel Hill, N.C. The Mount Tabor Spartans are the 3AA football state champions after 24-16 win over the Cleveland Rams in Chapel Hill on Thursday night.
The Spartans got the scoring started in the first quarter when Tyress McIntyre connected on a deep ball with Lance Patterson for a 70-yard touchdown pass to claim an early 7-0 lead.
Tabor threatened to strike once again after McIntyre carried the ball to the Cleveland three, but a false start penalty set the Spartans back and the Rams blocked a field goal after forcing a fourth down scenario.
