October 17, 2014 10:47 PM

Cole Nigro ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns as Sanderson earned its first Cap-8 4A victory of the season with a 33-20 win over Broughton on Friday at Caps Stadium.

While Sanderson (2-6, 1-3 Cap-8) ended a four-game losing streak. Broughton is 1-7, 0-4.

“It’s great,” Sanderson coach Ben Kolstad said. “We’ve gone through a whole lot of stuff this year, and I’m proud of the resiliency of our kids. They stayed with it, and they fought. It’s good to get a win under our belt, and we’ve got three more to try to get after it.”

The Spartans’ running game was dominant, as Sanderson ran for 374 yards. Nigro had TD runs of 1, 3 and 30 yards, while Dejuan Dye carried 20 times for 148 yards.
