Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Elgin). They blew past the Aurora East Tomcats, posting a 49-0 victory. The high-scoring effort was just what the Maroons needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.
Elgin got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Lamarin Powell out in front who rushed for 72 yards and one touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 36 receiving yards and one score. Another signal caller making a difference was Jacob Rufino, who threw for 190 yards and a pair of TDs on only 16 passes.
Elgin's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Jamiere Moore was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sacks himself. Jiyion Holmes got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
