Central Valley High School's varsity football team dominated Riverbank 102-30 in a scrimmage on Friday in Ceres.

"We did a great job of being physical and making plays on both sides of the ball," Hawks coach Tim Garcia said. "We did what we were supposed to do."

Central Valley junior quarterback Trevor Mew completed 16-of-18 passes for 153 yards with six touchdowns and one interception.

Senior Gerald Garcia and sophomore DeAngelo Williams each had two TD receptions. Senior Anthony Pires and junior Rick Rogers both added one.

Junior backup quarterback Damian Adams tossed a 10-yard TD pass to junior fullback Stephen Fonsworth.

Sophomore Vince Lopez gained 61 yards and scored twice on four carries.

Junior Glenn Carrillo amassed 30 yards and three rushing scores on three carries.

Pires added 18 yards and a TD on three carries.

Led by senior defensive lineman Sean McLeod, Central Valley's defense limited Riverbank's offense to five touchdowns and 142 total yards.

The Bruins managed to gain just 44 rushing yards on 22 carries as the Hawks registered 10 tackles for losses or no gain.

Riverbank senior quarterback Anthony Sahagun completed 8 of 14 passes for 88 yards with three touchdowns and one pick (Fonsworth). He also had two TD receptions.

Sahagun hooked up with senior receiver Evan Gunther for three scores.

The Hawks reeled off 42 straight points to open the game.

Casas carried the ball six times for 38 yards and Mew connected with four different players for a total of 17 yards during Central Valley's first series on offense. Trevor capped the drive with a 4-yard TD strike to Pires.

Casas' two rushing touchdowns (5, 1) increased the Hawks' lead to 18-0.

Mew tossed two TD passes to Williams (2, 25) and one to Garcia (8).

Lopez scored on a 25-yard run.

Central Valley players, coaches and fans were in a jovial mood afterwards.

The Hawks did just about everything right. Their offense was efficient. They played smart and aggressive on defense.

"I was real impressed with how the team performed offensively and defensively," Mew said. "We came out with a high intensity. We were ready."

Central Valley kicks off the season on Friday at 7 p.m. against Los Banos at Ceres High School.
