Black Oilers trounce Trojans

The Oilers parlayed that turnover into a touchdown two plays later, and the quick start propelled them to a 38-0 trouncing of the Trojans on Saturday.

On Huntington’s second play from scrimmage following the opening kickoff recovery, running back Brennan Apodoca scored the first of his three rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Brae Ivey and Bowen Blake also rushed for touchdowns and Nathan Mathews caught a touchdown pass.

The Oilers defense got the shutout led by the play of Liam Jimmons, Luke Simonian, Cade Benard and Riley Smith.

The Black Oilers host the Baldwin Hills Bruins at 1 p.m. Saturday at Huntington Beach High.
