2015 CASTLETON FOOTBALL Last Time Out: Castleton The Spartans received a dominant second half from its defense to escape with a 17-14 victory over Anna Maria on the road Saturday. Castleton trailed 14-7 at the half after a late second-quarter AMCAT touchdown. In the third, Moe Harris tied the game on a 1-yard run and it remained 14-14 until midway through the fourth.
