This season, the Tornadoes have scored fewer than 35 points only once this season. It was a 37-26 loss to Miami Central.

“The biggest lesson we learned is we have to finish,’’ said Harris, who has offers from Miami, Florida State, FIU, Ole Miss, Illinois, UCF and USF. “The only way you do that is keep scoring.’’
