Brady Jones completed 21 of 26 passes for 331 yards and tied a program record by throwing eight touchdown passes as the Riverside City College football team cruised to a 69-3 victory over Southwestern in a National-Southern Conference game Saturday at Wheelock Stadium in Riverside. Jones matched the program record held by Jacob Barlage, who threw eight touchdown passes in a 76-3 victory over Orange Coast College on Nov. 9, 2019. Jones set another program record earlier this season with 535 passing yards in a 70-45 win over El Camino College on Sept. 21. Making Jones’ record-tying performance even more impressive was his eighth touchdown pass came with 10:32 remaining in third quarter. RCC (6-1 overall, 4-0 in conference) raced out to a 34-0 lead after one quarter, as Jones threw touchdown passes to Kaden Willerford (18 yards), Jackson Owens (14 and 10 yards), Elijah Vasquez (22 yards) and Dominic Cox (34 yards). Jones connected with Cox (32 yards) and Beau Bruins (18 yards) for touchdowns in the second quarter. Jones’ final touchdown pass of the game was a 29-yarder to D’Mariya Thomas in the third period. Cox finished with six catches for 138 yards, and Owens had seven receptions for 57 yards. Tayven Anderson returned an interception 54 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter for the TIgers. RCC heads to Mission Viejo to face Saddleback in a conference game Saturday, Nov. 2. C-M-S HOLDS OFF REDLANDS Jacob O’Connell returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps’ defense came up big once again in the final minutes as the Stags defeated University of Redlands 17-10 in a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game Saturday night at Ted Runner Stadium in Redlands. Redlands (2-5 overall, 2-3 in conference) was looking for the tying score late in the game, but Taylor Bowie was stopped by Benjamin Littlefield for no gain on fourth-and-2 at the C-M-S 10 with 1:54 remaining on the clock. The Stags ran off the remaining time to preserve the victory. Saturday’s game was a defensive battle, as the team combined for only 462 yards of offense (273 for Redlands, 189 for C-M-S). C-M-S (6-1, 4-1) took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter after a 42-yard field goal by Rich Brutto and a 36-yard touchdown pass from Walter Kuhlenkamp to Anderson Cynkar. Aidan Petruescu got Redlands on the board when he kicked a 49-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. O’Connell’s interception return extended the C-M-S advantage to 17-3 with 2:40 remaining in the third quarter. Redlands made it a one-score game when Jayden Mckey tossed an 11-yard touchdown pass to Evan Aguon with 11:07 remaining in the game. Kuhlenkamp threw for 114 yards, and Justin Edwards ran for 57 yards on 19 carries for the Stags. Mckey passed for 145 yards, and Bowie finished with 73 yards on 15 carries for Redlands.
