The California Trojans traveled to Waynesburg Central Highschool to take on the Raiders for week 3 of Greene County high school football.

After California threw an interception Waynesburg went down the field for a 6-yard touchdown run ran in by junior quarterback Jacob Stevenson.

Waynesburg scored again with a fifteen-yard touchdown pass caught by freshman Jack Ricciuti with 8 minutes left in the first quarter to make the score 14-0.

In the second quarter with one minute left, California scored with a forty-yard punt return by junior Lee Qualk.

At halftime Waynesburg Central led by a score of 14-7.

 

To start the 3rd quarter, Waynesburg Central’s quarter back junior Jacob Stevenson had a 60-yard pass touchdown to Jack Ricciuti to put Waynesburg up 20-7, racking up his third touchdown of the day.

With seven minutes left in the 3rd quarter Waynesburg continued to dominate with a seventy-one-yard touchdown run by senior Breydon Woods to put the Raiders up 27-7.

California quickly returned with a fumbled-punt-safety to make the score 27-9.

Waynesburg Central takes home the victory with a final score of 27-9.

The Raiders now move to (3-0) on the season, and the Trojans fall to (2-1). Waynesburg Central takes on Keystone Oaks next Friday at home, and California travels to Jefferson Morgan.
