The Royals kicked off their 2026 season in commanding style on Saturday evening, delivering a decisive 48–6 victory over the Whatcom Vikings at Bellingham High School.

From the opening kickoff, the Royals set the tone with high energy, disciplined execution, and a relentless pace on both sides of the ball. The season opener showcased the team’s depth, preparation, and chemistry as they overwhelmed their opponent in all phases of the game.

At quarterback, Terrence Allen and Rodney Raines led the offensive charge with poise and precision. Both quarterbacks orchestrated scoring drives and kept the Vikings’ defense off balance throughout the contest.

Damon Baker, DayDay Salgado, and Twon made explosive contributions, consistently gaining yardage and creating scoring opportunities.
