Pahrump Valley coach Joe Clayton expected a strong-season opening effort from his team’s strong senior class.
He may not even have known how smoothly things would go for the Trojans in a 38-10 rout over Eldorado to start the year.
“We always have a great crowd at our home games, and the kids really fed off that,” Clayton said. “They played great.”
Senior running backs Aaron Fuentes and Case Murphy paved the way for Pahrump Valley. Fuentes had eight carries for 101 yards, while Murphy notched five rushing attempts for 38 yards and a touchdown.
Senior Parker Hart threw for a touchdown, connecting with underclassman Nico Velazquez. But the top highlight came when senior Jesse Dillon blocked a punt that his classmate, Daniel Kinkaide, returned for a touchdown.
For Eldorado, quarterback Jaime Rangel registered 223 total yards.
