Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Centauri). Everything went their way against Varsity Opponent on Monday as they made off with a 31-1 win. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
