GAME SUMMARY

This game was essentially over from the beginning as Las Vegas High School was up 37-0 at the half and the running clock had already began. Despite the score the Rancho fan base stayed into the game and really cared about trying to win the fitness challenge between the two schools. The second half was much of the same as Las Vegas held on to win 51-0. Rancho has been a school who has been decimated by redistricting , even with that being said the kids never gave up and the coach absolutely loved and thanked the ARMY for being at this rivalry game.
