Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask El Paso-Gridley). They were the clear victors by an 18-1 margin over the Fieldcrest Knights on Friday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Titans needed considering they were shut out in their previous matchup.
