Milligan, Bulldogs rout Rams

DeVonte Milligan and Virgin Valley (3-0) wasted little time taking control on Thursday on the way to a 72-6 road win over Rancho.

Milligan caught touchdown passes of 30 and 32 yards from quarterback Garrett Leavitt and returned an interception 65 yards for a third touchdown, all during the first quarter. Leavitt, who threw four touchdown passes, also connected with senior Harold Caswell in the opening period as the Bulldogs took a quick 27-0 lead.

The Bulldogs turned to their running game in the second period as Caswell, senior Dee Bowler and senior Dillon Graves all rushed for scores, contributing to the Bulldogs 59-6 halftime lead. The Rams (0-3) had trouble moving the ball for most of the game, but sophomore Robert Howard did explode for a 65-yard touchdown dash in the second quarter. Howard led the Rams with 71 rushing yards.
