Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Spoto). They breezed by the Leto Falcons to the tune of 66-23 on Thursday. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by 41 points or more this season.
Nathan Richardson was his usual excellent self, throwing for 289 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also punching in two touchdowns on the ground. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last four times he's played. Jesse Harden was Richardson's top target, picking up 152 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Spoto's defense and their four sacks. Rome Freeman was especially locked on to Leto's QB and sacked him twice. Freeman also set a new season high mark in total tackles with 11. Spoto got some further help from Nasir Foster: he picked up a sack and made eight total tackles in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
When it comes to explaining why Leto lost, don't look at Jakobe Bruton. Despite the final result, he rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 134 yards and a touchdown. Bruton also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making two total tackles. Trey Alexander was in the mix too, providing Leto with two touchdowns.
Spoto is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 6-4 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 43 points. As for Leto, their record now sits at 1-9.
Spoto didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 51-6 loss against Lakeland on the 15th. Leto does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
