Katella Completely Dominates Magnolia, 49-0

Jaret Wright, Katella High’s quarterback, rushed for three touchdowns and passed for two others as the Knights defeated Magnolia, 49-0, Friday night at Glover Stadium in the season opener for both teams.

The six-foot, 200-pound junior scored Katella’s first touchdown on a one-yard run. Before the score, Wright raced 43 yards to the Magnolia one-yard line.

Katella scored on its next possession, when Wright completed a 42-yard pass to David Rojo with 3 minutes 45 seconds left in the first quarter. Mike Rubio kicked the conversion, one of seven on the night, to give the Knights a 14-0 lead.

Wright scored on a seven-yard run to make the score 21-0, and just before halftime, Wright completed a 55-yard pass to Rodney Freer.

Jason Gass gave Katella a 35-0 lead when he intercepted a Magnolia pass and returned it 55 yards for the touchdown.
