Santa Rosa Academy scored a 41-0 football victory against Western Christian at Heritage High Friday night in its "White-Out" Homecoming Game.

The Rangers’ Andrew Snyder ran for a 60-yard touchdown, followed by a PAT by Mateo Rodriguez. Yardage was gained by Jack Donaldson and Connor Dougherty, which led to another touchdown by Lance Burden; however, the PAT was no good. The score was 13-0 at the end of the first quarter.

During the second quarter, Snyder scored another touchdown, followed by a PAT by Rodriguez once again, resulting in a 20-0 lead by halftime.

During halftime, the Rangers put on a show for the crowd, leading up to the announcement of their Homecoming Court. The Rangers’ Pom Team, SRA’s Cheerleading Team, and Collision Crew all performed during halftime. After, the Homecoming Court rode in classic vehicles along the football field. For the Seniors’ Homecoming Court, Addison Aguilar of the varsity football team was crowned King, and Winnona Kraus was crowned Queen for Santa Rosa Academy’s Homecoming Dance.

During the third quarter, Snyder once again made a touchdown, followed by a PAT by Rodriguez. Shortly after, Burden made a touchdown and another PAT was completed by Rodriguez. The final touchdown of the game was made by Donaldson and another PAT was completed by Rodriguez, resulting in the score of 41-0.

No one scored in the fourth quarter, as the Rangers put up a strong defense throughout the entire game. The Rangers have another game on Oct. at 7 p.m. against Calvary Murrieta at Heritage High.
