The Start Spartans have been the crown jewel of the Toledo City League over the past decade. It’s hard to find a year where the Start Spartans do not finish top two in the end-of-the-year standings. Coach Godfrey Lewis has stepped down from his position as head coach at Start, which surprised most. He has won multiple city league titles and led the Spartans to the playoffs twice. Coach Nate James will take the baton and looks to bring back the city league title to Tremainsville.
This 2023 Start Spartans team should be fascinating as they showed great potential during city league play while featuring some up-and-coming talent. Coach James will have a cupboard full of talent and a playbook that the city league has yet to see. Coach James will have his hands full as he gets used to being a first-time head coach, but he has plenty of knowledge and experience that will serve him in 2023.
Let’s look at the returning upperclassmen of the Start Spartans football team.
