Millennium improved to 3-0 on the year after the Tigers defeated Cienega 42-14 on the road Friday night but the Bobcats had to go without their head coach and with their third string quarterback. Justin Argraves was called away from the field prior to the game to take care of personal family issues and we send our best wishes in what must be a difficult time…
