The Canyon View Jaguars defeated Independence 63-0 in their Forthcoming game at Jaguar Stadium.

"They had good focus, they were excited to play and they played well for their Forthcoming game," head coach Nick Gehrts said after the game. 

Running back Matthew Flores started the Jaguars off with a run down the sideline to the 16-yard line. Flores went on to score two rushing touchdowns and added a receiving score all in the first quarter to help the Jaguars jump out to a 35-0 lead. 

"My teammates were there for me tonight and it was an unbelievable game," Flores said.

In the second quarter, Gilbert "Trey" Guerra scored a touchdown and the extra point good, making the score 42-0 at halftime. 

After halftime, sophomore Santino Varvel caught a 42-yard touchdown pass from Ashton Zacher to increase the Jaguar lead.

Guerra went on to add the last two touchdowns of the game as Canyon View went on to win easily.
