FRIDAY’S OTHER GAMES

CALIFORNIA 40, AVELLA 0 The Trojans took a 34-0 lead into halftime as they dismantled Avella in Tri-County South Conference play.

Lee Qualk and Malachi Peak wreaked havoc on the ground for California (3-2, 2-0). Qualk continued his phenomenal season with 137 yards and two scores on 14 carries while adding a receiving touchdown. Peak has started the season well and took nine carries for 124 yards and a touchdown of his own.

Quarterback Logan Hartley also tossed three touchdowns as he found Qualk, Adin Keyes and Vinny Manzella for scores in the win.

California will look to stay flawless in the conference next week when it hosts Mapletown.

BLACKHAWK 57, YOUGH 6 Yough closed its non-conference slate with its third straight loss in a long trip to Blackhawk.

Raidon Kuroda found Ryan Sarver for a 10-yard score to make it 14-6 in the first quarter, but Blackhawk rattled off 43 unanswered points to win in a landslide.

Kuroda posted 139 passing yards and a touchdown along with three picks while Blackhawk’s Stephen Knallay went 13 for 23 with 189 yards and a touchdown. Brayden McCarthy scored three times for Blackhawk while Ryan Prisuta scored twice.

Yough (2-3) will look to get back on track next week when it begins Interstate Conference play against Mt. Pleasant.
