Roanoke, Va. – The Virginia Spartans are one of two high school teams playing this fall. The Spartans are made up mostly of home-schoolers, like Gabriel Sweat, who is in his first year on the team. “It’s something I’ve always wanted, a dream I wanted to pursue,” Sweat said. With the cancellation of nearly all high school fall sports, players like Franklin County’s Jamerise Holland knew he needed to play, and was allowed to join the Spartans. :That will be put to the test on Saturday, when they open up the season against Beacon Hill out of Richmond.
