Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Glenn). They put the hurt on Compton Early College with a sharp 13-3 victory on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
