While Everest Collegiate fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Thursday's season opener.

Everest Collegiate not only won on April 3rd, but they posted their biggest win since April 18, 2024 (when they won 15-0).
