Meanwhile, you're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter and that's exactly how it played out for Rocky Hill last Friday. They never let Avon get on the board and left with a 25-0 win. The Terriers have beaten the Falcons the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Falcons has come to flipping the script.
