quote:
-- The senior class won a school record 43 games breaking the previous mark of 41, which was set by the 2012 group of seniors. Only 11 schools have registered 40 wins in the last four seasons.
42 wins:
9+11+11+11
And the previous-best mark it surpassed was 38 wins not 41 (7+9+11+11)...
Still awesome though...
