Calvary Chapel Buries Ribet, 67-13

Calvary Chapel’s Andy Avila returned a kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown and carried the ball eight times for 149 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Eagles to a 67-13 victory over host Ribet Academy Saturday afternoon.

The Eagles (3-1) gained 398 yards on offense and their defense forced six turnovers and held Ribet (1-3) to 178 of total offense, 164 of which came on 80- and 84-yard touchdown runs by Thomas Shomar.

The Eagles scored on their first six possessions. Justin Calas carried three times in the first half and scored each time, from 15, 28 and eight yards, and Avila punched in two of his own.

Eagle quarterback Terry Mermer, who completed four of 13 passes, hooked up with P.J. Novak for two 50-yard receptions in the first half, one for a touchdown and the other on a fake punt from inside the Eagle 20-yard line.

The second half was played with a running clock, but Calvary still scored 13 points in less than two minutes without running an offensive play. Kyle Rausch recovered a fumble in the end zone, and Cory Lange returned an interception 20 yards for another touchdown.
