The Spartans won round one of the local derby Tuesday evening, getting three goals from sr Spencer Putney in their shut out win over the Patriots. The home team came out strong to start the game and had the majority of possession but it was CBC that was able to score, getting two goals within the first 20 minutes of play. The Patriots had several opportunities during the game but sr goalkeeper Brian Porzio came up strong, including early in the second half when BBC put three shots on goal only to see the defense come up strong in front of the net.
The win puts CBC and BBC at 1-1 in ICC Conference Standings, tied for second with Hillsdale FreeWill Baptist College but behind Dallas Christian College who are at 2-0. Southwestern Christian University is at 0-2. The rematch will be October 2nd at 3pm at the CBC campus near Hillcrest High School.

Trent Goodin-Senior, Baptist Bible College
CBC is the biggest game of the year. No matter what our record is we always want to play perfect that game. Everyone has a lot of adrenaline rushing and it fills us as if we have more energy than we ever had. There are a lot of fans for both teams and it is an awesome time for both, the teams and the fans.
Greg goodin-Senior, Baptist Bible College
I feel like when we play CBC it doesn’t matter what our records are for either team, we both show up and seem to play our best game that night. Neither teams wants to loose nor does it not seem that either team gets tired. The fans make the experience even more intense. They come with chants and energy built up all through out the day. this is a game that we can not loose for ourselves or our fans.
Matt Conley-Senior, Baptist Bible College
Is the only game of the year that I mark on my calendar. To me there is no bigger game on the schedule. There’s just something about the atmosphere between the teams and the fans that makes me want to play at my highest potential. It is a great rivalry and I can’t wait!
You know how much I love Derbies. You can expect to see me on the sidelines although the lighting may limit the photographic output tonight. More time to enjoy the game!
