The "Bone Game" high school football rivalry between Las Vegas and Rancho highs has a storied tradition dating back to the 1950s.
Tonight, part of the rivalry’s history was rewritten.
Las Vegas set a record for points scored and margin of victory in the rivalry, using four touchdowns from Elias Miller in a 70-6 win at Rancho. It was the Wildcats’ 18th straight win in the series.
Previously, the most points scored was 65 by Las Vegas in 1999; the largest margin of victory was 52 points in two separate games, most recently 2010 by Las Vegas.
“It was a fun night. Everybody got in; everybody got to play,” Las Vegas coach James Thurman said.
Las Vegas (3-1) led 56-0 at halftime, including a touchdown when Miller grabbed a loose ball in the end zone after Jacob Anderson blocked a Rancho punt. Miller also had three rushing scores.
Andrew Moreland had two rushing touchdowns, Justin Taitague returned a punt for a touchdown, and Jacob Littlefield scored on a run. Aaron Zanin-Banks and Ricky Shepherd had receiving touchdowns for the Wildcats.
