Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Jesuit). They put the hurt on Edna Karr with a sharp 18-0 win on Thursday.

Belen Jesuit has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-7 record this season.

Jesuit's record is now 15-5-1.
