The senior running back scored on a 68-yard run on the Wildcats’ second play from scrimmage and finished with 186 total yards. Swenson threw for three touchdowns and scored another on a 56-yard run midway through the second quarter. He accounted for 190 total yards.

Rancho (0-1) finally got on the board in the fourth quarter when Angel Walker hauled in a 31-yard touchdown pass from Yasser Rebolledo. Robert Howard led the Rams with 51 yards on 12 carries.

The Wildcats got highlight-reel touchdowns from Zachary Loveland with a 39-yard punt return and freshman Elijah Hicks, who busted out for a 53-yard score late in the first quarter. Sam Blackburn scored on a 51-yard pass from Swenson early in the second quarter to account for the Wildcats’ longest pass play of the night.
