RB’s Anthony League & Xaiver Jones Leads Rams’ Offensive Onslaught in 45-10 Rout

The Millikan Rams showcased their versatility and dominance in a commanding 45-10 win over Wilson on Friday night. The Rams demonstrated their ability to score in multiple ways, including through the air, on the ground, via special teams, and even with a safety.

Pregame Tension

The game began with some pregame tension as Millikan’s last-minute entrance onto the field sparked frustration from the Wilson sideline. Coach Romeo Pellum of Millikan embraced the energy, stating, “We wanted to match that energy and show them what the energy could be like. It was fun.”

Offensive Onslaught

The Rams’ offense was firing on all cylinders, scoring on four of their first five drives. Key offensive highlights included:

• Xavier Jones’ 39-yard touchdown run
• Aisa Taelifi’s 1-yard touchdown punch
• Anthony League’s 68-yard touchdown rush
• League’s 41-yard touchdown reception from JP Mialovski

Anthony League had an outstanding performance, finishing with 117 rushing yards on 10 carries (11.7 yards per carry average) and 48 receiving yards on three catches, totaling two touchdowns.

Special Teams and Defense Shine

Millikan’s special teams and defense also contributed significantly to the victory:

• Landon Ross’ 69-yard punt return set up a touchdown
• Dillon Nelson blocked a punt, leading to Joshua Tuchek’s scoop and score
• The Rams’ defense held Wilson to just 10 points

Individual Performances

Joshua Tuchek, an Arizona commit, had a noteworthy performance, tasked with covering Wilson’s top receiver Maxwell Barbee. The matchup between Tuchek and Barbee was competitive, with Barbee finishing as the game’s leading receiver with six catches for 59 yards.

Postgame Tensions

Following the game, there was a verbal altercation between Wilson’s coach Travis Clark and Millikan’s Romeo Pellum, requiring players to be separated. Despite the tension, both teams eventually made safe exits from the field.

Looking Ahead

Wilson will face Compton on the road next week, while Millikan is set to host Jordan in their upcoming matchup. Coach Pellum summed up the night with a quote from his son, saying it was “BTA” tonight, emphasizing the Rams’ dominant performance.
