Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ulysses). They blew past Guymon 50-28 on Saturday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

Ledesma threw for 262 yards and three touchdowns while completing 82.8% of his passes while Perez rushed for 84 yards and a pair of TDs on only ten carries. That's the most passing yards Ledesma has posted since back in September. Stryker Berglund was in the mix as well, providing Ulysses with two scores.
Ulysses didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Preston Hittle. He also posted 143 receiving yards, which is notable because Ulysses is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-4 otherwise.
Rose Hill's win bumped their record up to 5-3. As for Ulysses, their victory bumped their record up to 3-5.
Rose Hill was dealt a bruising 57-7 loss at the hands of Ulysses when the teams last played back in October of 2015.

There's only one way to find out.
