The Juanita Rebels earned their first win this season with a 48-16 victory on Friday night.
In the first quarter Rebel Travis Marshall sprinted to a touchdown on a 55-yard run, followed by a Nick Horne kick to give Juanita a 7-0 start to the game. Marshall’s teammate Matt Nilsson followed it up by catching a 14-yard pass from quarterback Landyn Milburn and another good kick from Horne to increase the team’s lead.
Milburn made another successful touchdown pass, this time to Elijah Propapenko for 6-yards, before Trayon McNairy scored for the Rebels on a 1-yard run.
Redmond earned its first points of the night on a 28-yard field goal toward the end of the first quarter.
At the end of the first 12 minutes the Rebels led 28-3 over Redmond.
But Juanita didn’t slow down, adding 20 more points to the board in the second quarter. Marshall again ran the ball for a touchdown, this time a 61-yard run downfield, before McNairy followed suit with a 75-yard run of his own.
Redmond found the endzone in the second with a 79-yard pass from Brady Anderson to Nikolah LaCour to give the Mustangs a 9 point game.
Juanita’s Oscar Fuentes made a 4-yard run late in the third for the final Rebel touchdown of the night, but the pass for extra points failed. The Rebel led 48-9.
Redmond made the final touchdown of the game in the third quarter off a 6-yard pass from Anderson to Jordan Hall. Neither team made it into the endzone during the final minutes of the game.
Juanita will travel to Pop Keeney Field next Friday to face off against 4A Inglemoor.
