Bentworth held off an Avella comeback in the second half. K.J. Rush threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns, both to Tanner Terensky, who had five catches for 144 yards, including an 80-yard score.

Albert Gallatin 57, Carrick 0 – Tristan Robinson threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Bruno Fabrycki touchdown and scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter to spark Albert Gallatin (4-1) to a shutout win over Carrick (4-0).
