(La Puente) The La Puente Warriors scored early, often and completely dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage in a 55-0 rout of the Sierra Vista Dons.

La Puente head coach Scott Morrison was pleased with his teams performance after the game. “We feel good about the way our defense played and especially good about the way the defensive line and linebackers played. Our offensive line worked really hard and know their jobs and executed.”

*** Erick Morales had a stellar opening night hitting on 10 of 14 passes for 141-yards and three scores. Morales added 68-yards rushing and another score.

*** The Warrior defense held the Dons to a total of 165-yards.

*** Cesar Espinoza made the most of his touches gaining 143-yards on just nine carries. Espinoza also tallied three touchdowns of  his own.

*** Justin Torres who led Sierra Vista last season with over 1700 yards on the ground was held to 41-yards on 11 carries. Torres left  the game early in the second half with an injury.

*** With a little more than 10 minutes showing on the clock in the third quarter, La Puente was up by a large enough margin for the clock not to stop the rest of the evening.

*** The Warriors offense was extremley efficient. Their longest scoring drive only needed eight plays.

*** Mathew Lares was Morales favorite target catching five balls for 58-yards and two scores.

*** It took the Dons until 7:45 in the third quarter to get their first, first down.

*** La Puente will be at home again next week when they host the Covina Colts.

*** Sierra Vista will try to rebound next week at home against a much improve Mark Keppel squad.
