Las Vegas High quarterback Elijah Espinoza accounted for four touchdowns — two rushing and two passing — in a 55-20 victory against host Clark.

The most meaningful touchdown was arguably a scoring strike to his brother, senior Giovanni Espinoza.

Running back Torrell Harley also had four touchdowns for the Wildcats, who improved to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in league play.

“This was the best game we have played overall,” coach Erick Capetillo said. “We really focused on starting conference play right in going 1-0.”
