The St. Helena High JV football team improved to 4-0-1 with Friday’s 52-6 blasting over the Lower Lake Trojans.
The Saints dominated the proceedings from the opening kickoff on the way to victory. St. Helena, which visits Fort Bragg on Friday, led 8-0 after one quarter, 32-6 at halftime and 46-6 after three quarters.
“I was really happy with our performance tonight because of the speed we played at,” Saints head coach Ian MacMillan said. “The first half was pretty much close to perfect. The one touchdown we gave up was my fault because we had some subs in and I called the wrong coverage. They played with a lot of speed and tenacity. These kids are very willing to take in information and apply it. They are a great bunch of kids.”
Behind the offensive line of Rowan Knight, Ryland Campos, Conlan Harrington, Jesse Cole and Jackson Dena, St. Helena compiled 325 yards rushing on 41 carries. Cody DiTomaso carried 20 times for 264 yards.
The sophomore scored five touchdowns, covering distances of 26, 46, 75 and twice from 1 yard away. Quarterback Jake Mendes added a 14 yard run while George Cutting scored from 4 yards away. St. Helena made good on four two-point conversions, all from Mendes, who added 98 yards rushing on ten carries.
Defensively, St. Helena limited the Trojans to just 107 yards on 34 plays, 35 of those yards came on two plays. Mendes and Daniel Martinez each intercepted passes. DiTomaso also recovered a fumble. Jake Lehman and Cutting each recorded tackles for lost yardage. Lehman also added two impact tackles (gains of 0-3 yards). Knight and Dena each added one.
