Cigarroa did it again.
With the score tied at 7 and time dwindling in the fourth quarter, the Toros drove 47 yards down the field and scored the game-winning touchdown with a just over a minute left on the clock to give them a 14-7 victory over the Martin Tigers at Krueger Field on Friday night.
Cigarroa, winless a year ago, improved to 3-0 overall, 2-0 in District 29-5A. Martin fell to 0-3, 0-2.
The Toros won last week over Nixon via a touchdown with four seconds remaining in that game.
The night's final scoring play for the Toros was reminiscent of a week ago. Once again, it was a pass from quarterback Victor Martinez that sealed the win.
Martinez found wide receiver Samuel Macias for the game-winning 15 yard touchdown completion.
Martinez finished the game with 49 passing yards on 6 of 11 passing. He threw for one touchdown and for one interception.
Cigarroa's other touchdown was delivered by the defensive side of the ball. Early in the first half ,the Toros 'Wrecking Crew' defense forced Martin quarterback Luis Diaz-Deleon to fumble on a sack. Safety Jesus Sanchez scooped up the ball and housed it for six.
Sanchez also came through with an interception of Diaz-Deleon in the final minute of the game to end Martin's final furious drive and seal the Cigarroa victory.
The Cigarroa defense held Martin to 92 yards of total offense. Cigarroa managed 153.
Diaz-Deleon was held to just 41 passing yards. He completed 6 of 14 passes and was picked off once.
Martin's Luis Estevis, a recent addition to the team, led the team in receiving yards with 22 off two catches.
Alex Alvarado led the Tigers in rushing with 24 yards on four carries. Rudy Castillo also did well out of the Tigers backfield with 17 yards and a touchdown on three carries, though he didn't touch the ball a single time in the second half.
The Toros let eight different backs carry the ball for a total of 104 yards on the ground.
Martinez led the team in carries with 17 carries for 37 yards, including scampers of 20 and 23, respectively.
Power back Jesse Sanchez led the Toros in total yards with 44 on nine touches.
Cigarroa is the lone undefeated team in Laredo.
