CALIFORNIA — The California High School football team rolled up 35 first-quarter points and defeated Bentworth 61-7 in a Class A Tri-County South Conference football game Thursday night.

The Trojans led 35-7 after one quarter and 49-7 at halftime. Quarterback Jake Layhue ran 64 yards for one first-quarter score and passed 25 yards to Camden Powell for another.

California’s Spencer Petrucci had a 22-yard interception return that gave the Trojans a 14-0 lead. Bentworth answered with its only TD of the night, a 68-yard pass from Vitali Daniels to Benjamin Hays.

California rushed for 441 yards, led by Layhue’s 156 yards and Petrucci’s 107.
