60 points!

The 60 points scored by the Mounties in beating Western Friday was the third time in school history Northwest has put up at least 60 points in a football game, according to my quick scan of michigan-football.com.

Last year, the Mounties beat Lansing Waverly 61-26.

In 1988, Northwest beat Inkster 65-0. As with last night's game, the Mounties were 4-4 going into the Inkster game and were hungry for a winning season. Inkster was 0-8 and apparently didn't much care. But hey, it was fun at the time and it looks good in the record books.

On the losing side, Northwest has twice given up 60 or more points.

The record appears to be in 2003 when Charlotte beat the Mounties, 66-8.

In 1992, Eaton Rapids bested Northwest 61-28.
