Junior quarterback Jacob Henry and had four completions for 70 yards passing. Junior receiver, Allan Sandoval had a 25-yard TD reception.
On defense
Verzilli said Jose Moreno was a standout on defense with eight tackles and he said junior defensive Max Taylor and junior linebacker Damien Reynoso had great games too.
“As a team, we were gang-tackling well,” he said.
Henry and junior defensive end Geo Maldonado had a fumble recovery; Sandoval had an interception.
The Hornets travel to Indians Springs (1-3, 1-1) for a 7 p.m Thursday kickoff.
