Nampa celebrated its return to the postseason with a rout of Mountain Home on Friday night, scoring six touchdowns in the first three quarters of a 50-7 win in the first round of the 4A playoffs at Nampa High.

The Bulldogs (8-2) were making their first playoff appearance since 2009, and their players did not disappoint. Nampa had 499 yards of offense to just 179 for Mountain Home, with Brian Carrillo rushing for 143 yards and three touchdowns to give Nampa its first playoff win since 2007.

Donnie Estrada added 98 yards rushing on just eight carries, and Alex Bernal rushed for 64. Each scored a TD and was part of Nampa’s 361-yard night on the ground. Braden Minor threw for 138 yards and two scores.

Defensively, the Bulldogs picked off three Mountain Home passes and also recovered a fumble.

Nampa will face 4A SIC foe and city rival Columbia in next week’s quarterfinals.
