UPLAND — The Rancho Cucamonga and Upland football teams both wanted to play a solid four quarters a week after failing to do so in their Baseline League openers.

Rancho Cucamonga was the only one successful as the Cougars scored in every quarter of a 42-7 rout of host Upland on Friday night.

A week ago, Rancho Cucamonga (3-4 overall, 2-0 league) built an 18-point first half lead then held on for a 24-22 victory over Damien. Upland (1-6, 0-2) led Chino Hills 21-0 at halftime but ended up losing, 27-21, in overtime.
