Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Florence). They were the clear victor by a 19-4 margin over the Ellison Eagles on Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
