Amphi鈥檚 star two-way player was a do-it-all standout for the Panthers, rushing for 181 yards on nine carries and scoring five total touchdowns.

鈥淭oday was beautiful, man,鈥� said Trejo. 鈥淲e all played hard, worked hard and did our jobs.鈥�

Just minutes into the first quarter, Trejo ran 38 yards for Amphi鈥檚 first touchdown of the game to make it 7-0. Trejo also capped off the second offensive possession of the night with a 4-yard touchdown to extend Amphi鈥檚 lead to 14-0, after returning a punt 35 yards inside Sahuarita territory.

鈥淥ur offensive line was picking up every stunt and every blitz they had, and Kiko was running hard,鈥� said Amphi coach Jorge Mendivil.

The Kiko Show continued on defense, with Trejo intercepting Sahuarita quarterback Alex Valdez for a 45-yard pick-six, giving Amphi a 21-0 lead going into the second quarter.

鈥淚 saw the ball was getting overthrown a little bit, then I saw the ball get tipped, I caught it and then I took off,鈥� he said.

Sahuarita briefly had a shift of momentum in the second quarter, when defensive lineman Levi Pannell recovered a fumble on a botched handoff. The Mustangs drew closer with a 27-yard touchdown from Alex Valdez to James Miner, cutting the deficit to 21-7. Valdez finished the contest completing 8 of 19 passes for 242 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.

Amphi鈥檚 offense momentarily stalled, but was sparked by a 55-yard flea flicker pass from Trejo to Ithzael Carbajal to put the Panthers on Sahuarita鈥檚 5-yard line; freshman fullback Jacob Espinoza punched in a 2-yard run to give Amphi a 28-7 advantage.

Sahuarita garnered an opportunity in the second half following a high punt snap that set up the Mustangs on Amphi鈥檚 26-yard line, but Valdez threw his second interception of the game.

Amphi capitalized on Sahuarita鈥檚 miscue, and Trejo bolted for a 68-yard touchdown. Trejo scored his fifth touchdown of the game to give Amphi a 42-14 lead going into the fourth quarter. Sahuarita scored two late touchdowns, but the fourth-quarter comeback fell short.

鈥淥ur kids got a little complacent once we got up big. 鈥� They throw the ball well, and you gotta communicate against a team that throws the ball,鈥� Mendivil said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a little disappointing that our kids need to step up and realize what鈥檚 going on. A lot of them were a little lost out there, for sure.鈥�

Up next, Amphi (2-0) will face Phoenix Thunderbird in 蜜柚直播 next Friday, while Sahuarita (0-3) will battle Pusch Ridge Christian.
