The Spartans were celebrities by association last week as they played to a packed Paski Gymnasium against the Nathan Hale Raiders, the top-ranked team in the nation.

Indifferent to the very vocal crowd of stalwart Spartan fans, the spotlight-snagging guests (16-0 overall, 11-0 in league) sailed smoothly and with predictable aplomb to a 96-57 league win, leaving the Bainbridge High School varsity boys (3-14, 1-11) to scoop up what successes they could in the turbulent wake.

The Review’s Luciano Marano was there to document the drama. His favorite photos are collected here. Be sure to grab a copy of Friday’s Review for all the latest Spartan sports coverage.
