Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Durango). They breezed past the Liberty Lancers to the tune of 63-12 on Friday. Given the Demons' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado football rankings (they are ranked 20th, while the Lancers are ranked 135th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.

Grady Feeney was his usual excellent self, throwing for 192 yards and four TDs while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushing for 32 yards. That's the most passing yards he has posted since back in August. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Dawson McInnes, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Durango proved: they limited Liberty to a paltry 3.5 yards per carry. The team can thank Carson Palmer for the heroic effort on defense: he. Durango didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 6.9.

Special teams was a major factor in the game for Durango, racking up 15 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of McInnes, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.

Durango pushed their record up to 7-2 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 4.8 points on average over those games. As for Liberty, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7.

Coming up, Durango will challenge Vista Ridge at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Liberty, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Palmer Ridge at 6:00 p.m. The Bears' defense has only allowed 7.1 points per game this season, so the Lancers' offense will have their work cut out for them.
