Last year’s season-opening rout versus Durfee set all types of new all-time records including Most points ever scored in a single game by the Red Raiders (65); Most points ever scored in the season opener (65), most touchdowns scored in a single game and Most PAT kicks in a single game (9, Tom Mullen).
