The Gardena Serra Cavaliers took care of business Thursday night, dominating league foe St. Francis 42-6 behind a stellar defensive performance and three touchdowns from Malik Roberson.

With playmaker Taz Bateman lost for the season with a broken ankle, it was incumbent upon others to step their game up. On this night, it was Malik Roberson that was up to the challenge.

Trailing 3-0, the Cavaliers took the lead on a rushing touchdown by Roberson. The Serra defense held the St. Francis offense out of the end zone all night, yielding only two long field goals. Serra led 14-6 at halftime.
