They now extend their win streak to 10 games.

Defensively, the Tigers were unbelievable. The Saints scored at least 60 points in all but one game this season and were held to under 4o on Wednesday.

 

State Championship Game

Millennium will now have a chance to dethrone the reigning Open State Champion Perry Pumas. It is worth noting that the Tigers have had no trouble against some of the state’s top-ranked teams this season.
