North High The North High Saxons finally found a way to throw their two-game losing streak aside and get their first win of league play last Friday night with a 45-0 blowout on the road at Centennial. Teams have found their ways to run all over the Pioneer League’s last place team this season. The Saxons did the same under the Friday night lights. The game was over early as starting quarterback Glenn Searcy had one of his best performances of the season for the Saxons. Losses at home against West High and on the road and against Leuzinger at home made-up the first two losses of league play for North and head coach Todd Croce, who fell victim to a tough schedule to begin league play this year. With the two top teams in the Pioneer League now out of the way, the Saxons can finally get back to their winning ways, as they have now begun to do after their victory versus Centennial.
