Cypress stumbled out of the gate in the first half and it was enough to send them to a 35-14 loss to Woodbridge in the season-opening football game on Friday at University High.
Four interceptions by Woodbridge helped give the Warriors a 35-0 lead by halftime. Elyjah Rush had two interception returns deep into Cypress territory that set up touchdown runs by himself and quarterback Kyle Hurry. Dylan Hutton returned an interception 46 yards for another score.
The Centurions were able to settle in and play better in the second half, but the deficit was too much to overcome. Cypress finally got on the board late in the third quarter on drive that ended with a Jayden Guthrie touchdown pass to Luke Porteneuve with 1:40 left in the quarter. Corey Anesi would add a touchdown run in the fourth for the Centurions.
Junior Angel Calvo had 60 yards rushing to lead the Centurions and senior Garet Crenshaw added 41 rushing yards. Cypress will host Santa Ana on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Western High. Santa Ana is 1-0 after defeating Buena Park, 49-14 in their opener.
