ANAHEIM – Aliso Niguel has put a lot of points on the scoreboard this football season, and the Wolverines did it again in a 37-20 victory over Kennedy in a nonleague game Thursday at Western High.
The Wolverines, who are ranked No. 2 in CIF-SS Division 9, improved to 3-0. They are averaging 38 points per game.
Aliso Niguel took a quick 17-0 lead, which wound up being too much for Kennedy (0-2) to overcome.
Senior quarterback Kyle Robertson completed his first six passes and wound up going 14 for 20 for 247 yards with touchdown passes of 4, 8 and 75 yards.
The 75-yard score was a screen pass of 8 yards to sophomore Max Carvalho, who took care of the remaining 67 yards by using his speed and nifty moves.
The Wolverines’ first play from scrimmage was a 39-yard pass from Robertson to Eduardo Mayen, a junior transfer from Mexico who is in his first season at Aliso Niguel.
Four plays later, Robertson’s second pass was a middle screen to Caleb Peterson that went for a 4-yard touchdown to give the Wolverines a 7-0 lead three minutes into the game.
Mayen finished with for 82 yards and a touchdown on seven carries and had five receptions for 115 yards.
A botched punt by Kennedy on the ensuing series gave the Wolverines the ball on the Kennedy 8.
Robertson quickly made Kennedy pay by hitting Jacob Kuhn for an 8-yard touchdown pass on first down.
Kennedy went three and out and Aliso Niguel’s Brendon Marmion kicked a 27-yard field goal to make it 17-0.
The Fighting Irish had some success moving the ball in the second quarter, and they forced the Wolverines to punt on their first two second-quarter possessions.
But just when it seemed as though the Fighting Irish were gaining momentum, Noah Guerrero scored on a 64-yard punt return to put the Wolverines ahead 23-0.
The teams scored a pair of touchdowns each in a wild third quarter. The scores included a 51-yard run and 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown from Kennedy’s Ray Aldapa, and a 52-yard touchdown run by Mayen.
