Spartans must self-isolate

Body RICHMOND – The Spartans beat the Mules, 44-6, last week, but now the question is whether Richmond can beat the Lathrop team’s brush with COVID-19. A football coach has the virus and “some players are showing symptoms,” Lathrop District Superintendent Chris Fine stated.
