FRIDAY but does it have perks? By ANDRE BYIK DN Sports Editor A blowout loss hurts, its When the Red Bluff Spartans entered the Hornet's Nest in Week 4, it was boasting an undefeated record on three convincing wins. But in its first league game against Enter- prise, Red Bluff lost 50- 7, with most of the dam- age coming before the fourth quarter.

Red Bluff shouldn't count on it, but coming back home for its second league game at 7:30 p.m. Fri- day knowing it needed to bolster most facets of its game could give the Spartans an early advantage. No question, the green and gold can't come out and allow big, momentum-shifting plays (such as the two punt returns for touch- downs the Hornets pulled in Week 3). The offensive line needs to do a better job protecting senior quar- terback Garrett Sandow, who was rushed to throw against Enter- prise, and Sandow needs to click with his receivers again.

It just seems in most cases it's always a great game." Friday's game marks both team's league open- ers.
