(Monrovia)- The Monrovia Wildcats scored eight touchdowns: Six on the ground, one through the air, and one on special teams, as they routed the visiting Temple City Rams, 56-6, last night at Monrovia High School.
The Wildcats scored first, when junior quarterback Asaph Zamora connected with junior wide receiver Aubrey Mosley for a 26-yard score. Special teams also scored in quarter one, when senior Octavius Spencer returned a punt 52-yards for the game’s second touchdown.
The remainder of the Monrovia scoring came on the ground, compliments of junior Aubrey Mosley (5-yards), senior Bryson Drayton (9-yards),
junior Lawrence Spicer (scores of 2 and 51-yards), and senior Jordan Nathan (scores of 40 and 60-yards).
Temple City never got on track. The Rams did, however, find the end zone with 1:21 remaining in the contest, when senior quarterback Rico Salcido scored on a 2-yard touchdown run. The 2-point PAT attempt failed.
