(El Monte) – Mt. View ran roughshod over Workman Thursday night racing out to a 29-7 halftime lead and routing the Lobos 55-14 at Viking Stadium.
The Vikes scored early and often while the Lobos continually turned the ball over or struggled to move the ball.
Workman turned the ball over on its first possession and Mt. View immediately took advantage. The Vikings took over on the Workman 24 and six plays later Juan Medina went in from four yards out for a 6-0 lead.
later in the quarter, quarterback Aaron Borrayo ran through the Workman defense for a 79-yard touchdown.
The Lobos offered a small murmur of protest on the ensuing kickoff when Francisco Andrade returned it 90 yards for a touchdown to cut the Mt. View lead to 13-7 early in the second quarter. The Vikings went on to score the next 42 points.
Mt View went up by 22 at halftime. Armando Flores scored on a 64-yard run, Borrayo scooted 21 yards for a touchdown and as the first half clock hit zeroes Brian Perez booted a 39-yard field goal that hit the crossbar and crawled over.
Mt. View quickly put it away in the second half as Borrayo got his third TD of the night on a 22-yard jaunt. With 1:29 left in the third Peter Nguyen got loose for a 25-yard score. After another Workman turnover Flores scored his second on a 15 yard run.
The fourth quarter featured a running clock but that didn’t stop the Vikes from finding the endzone one more time as Jesus Lopez scooped up a pass behind the line of scrimmage and returned the fumble 32 yards for a score.
Workman added one late on a Rudy Jimenez two-yard run.
When it was all said and done Mt. View had close to 300 yards rushing and a 41-point victory.
Mt. View improved to 1-1 with the win while Workman fell to 0-2.
Workman is a high rated Div 13 team??
MTV only won because workman licks lol
Good win for the Vikings! They have not played the Lobos officially since 2006. They played them in a preseason game in 2007 but, the came was called at dark because the people in charge did not know how to turn the lights on, or conveniently they did not have the keys to the light room or the LaPuente School District did not pay their light bill. Whatever! Great win for the Vikings against a higher rated team in Division 13.
