Redwood had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. Everything went their way against the Centennial Golden Hawks as they made off with a 41-20 victory. The Rangers pushed the score to 35-7 by the end of the third, a deficit the Golden Hawks cut but never quite recovered from.
Redwood had a senior duo take command as Jimmie Burk rushed for 128 yards and a pair of scores on only 12 carries and Jordan Arreola threw for 167 yards and two TDs.
Redwood didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Centennial to a completion percentage of just 46.2%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from two players: London Butler and Troy Harris, who each logged one passes deflected. Redwood wasn't nearly as limited: they posted one of 59.1%.
