Sherman's football team waited until the final night of the season to win at home, and it did so in lopsided fashion.
The Bearcats beat Saginaw 44-16 on Friday, KTEN reported, closing out District 3-5A (I) play. The Herald Democrat called it the program's first victory at its new stadium and reported that four different receivers caught touchdown passes.
The game doubled as senior night. KXII noted earlier in the week that Sherman came in at 1-8 and had kept many of its losses competitive, and that the team wanted to send its seniors off with a win. One of those near misses came in late October, when the Herald Democrat reported Sherman lost to Denton in overtime.
Friday's result leaves the Bearcats at 2-8 for the year, and the 28-point margin stood out for a team that had stayed close in many of its losses.
KXII had billed the Saginaw game as the Bearcats' last of the season, so the off-season starts with a home win on the books.
