Avella improves to 2-0, handles Jefferson-Morgan
AVELLA — Kenneth Rush completed 12 of 14 passes for 196 yards and threw a pair of second-half scoring tosses as Avella remained unbeaten with a 26-8 victory over Jefferson-Morgan in a Class A Tri-County South Conference game Friday night.
Avella (2-0, 2-0) led 12-8 at halftime but Rush threw 38 yards to Cole Jaworowski for a score in the third quarter and 13 yards to Gabe Lis in the fourth quarter.
The game was delayed twice in the second half for lengthy periods because of injuries.
