Thursday night football: Ayala, Pomona win ugly

Ayala 25, Colony 0
Ayala is 2-0 after taking advantage of six Colony turnovers and running away with a competitive game with 14 fourth-quarter points. Ayala first-year starting QB Caleb Carillo ran for 84 yards and a TD on 13 carries and threw for 90 yards on 8 of 16 passing with a TD and no interceptions. The story of this one was missed opportunities for Colony, which fumbled away its first three possessions, two inside the Ayala 15-yard line. Trailing just 11-0 at the half, Colony gained just 45 yards in the second half and threw two costly fourth-quarter interceptions that led to 14 Ayala points.

Pomona 13, Montclair 0
Demetrius Counts rushed for 206 yards on just 19 carries as Pomona scored its second victory in as many games under head coach Anthony Rice despite three turnovers and several costly penalties. The Pomona defense shut down a winless Montclair team that has scored just 12 points in two games and got a 1-yard touchdown run from QB Tavia Cobbs on a key fourth-and-goal play in the second quarter before Counts scored on a 20-yard run late in the third.

Los Angeles Carson 40, Miller 27
Miller scored 20 consecutive points to take a 27-20 lead entering the fourth quarter against a Carson team that defeated Mater Dei in its season opener, but Carson scored the decisive TD with 5:22 left before taking advantage of a Miller fumble to seal the game. Miller senior QB Eric Shufford ran for 85 yards and threw for 126 yards on 15-of-31 passing but the Rebels gave up 372 yards and four TDs through the air.
