The Auburn Spartans 12-U youth football team is playing in the state championship game this weekend, and the community will have a chance to celebrate their achievement.
The Spartans, formerly known as the Auburn Indians, will travel to Canastota this Sunday for the finals at 2 p.m.
The team is traveling to and from the game via two limo buses, and when the Spartans return to Auburn it will be with a police escort.
Team organizers expect the Spartans to be returning to Auburn between 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday. The Spartans' route will pass through downtown Auburn.
Auburn won its division championship this year after going winless last season.
