El Monte’s Davon Booth Is Too Much for Rosemead: 52-14
(Rosemead) The El Monte Lions over ran, over powered, and blatantly outscored the host Rosemead Panthers Friday evening, posting a 52-14 victory at Rod Marinelli Stadium.
Rosemead opened the scoring with a 5-yard TD run by Senior Fullback Edgar Portillo at the 6:18 mark of the first quarter. The Panthers added another touchdown run, when QB Ivan Ostry scored on a 64 yard sprint with 4:33 remaining in the opening period. This would prove to be the extent of the scoring for the Rosemead Panthers.
El Monte’s “Double-Wing” Offense proved to be too much for Rosemead, as the Lions ran it to near perfection. Junior Running Back Davon Booth, the Lion’s “Weapon of Choice” for the evening, had a hand, or foot, in all of El Monte’s scoring. Booth ran for six touchdowns, scoring on runs of 1, 24, 44, 58, 60, and 72 yards. In addition, Booth was on the receiving end of a 45 yard TD pass from QB Joseph Herrera. If that weren’t enough, Booth converted five 2-Point PAT attempts. Davon finished the evening with 369 yards from scrimmage…324 rushing and 45 receiving.
Next week finds both of these teams with a bye. Rosemead’s next game is 9/28, when the Panthers will travel to Arroyo to battle the Knights. On that same evening, the Lions will host the Mountain View Vikings. Kickoff time for both games is 7:00 p.m.
Come on man this is most bs comment I have ever read, really its disrespectful.
Lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂 this is one of the funniest comments ever smh.
MVS, with much respect I was speaking as an x coach don’t look to far a head .
Just a question I put on most post here in a couple different divisions
Long season still to go to be talking about a D13 final. But if that were the matchup El Monte …..
Who wins a El Monte vs Alhambra D13 CIF Finals???
From T. Peterson: El Monte in a rout.
No more Sumlers or Fregoso damn even Sahagun… are all gone. Maybe they could be like the Raiders and bring Koffler back and see what happens.
Man what happeneded to Rosemead? Another year of probably not making the play offs and its getting old. The program has gone downhill for sure…
I think they got Davon mixed up with someone else. It’s his first year in the MVL and first in Ca in 2 years.
Sorry but Devon is new to this league. So your kid wouldn’t have seen him.
I was at that game with my neighbor, who’s son plays for Rosemead, that kid Davon is pretty good, but i kept hearing the kids sitting around us saying “if Adrian was playing this year everyone would be talking about that kid that stopped Davon everytime”, does anyone know this kid ?? as much as i wanted to ask, I prefer talking to adults…please just facts not here say.
Yes he is !
RUMOR HAS IT : DAVON BOOTH IS A COUSIN OF THE NFL PENNY’s ??? Is this true? Does anyone have the answer?
From T. Peterson: Yes he is.
It’s been a long time since Rosemead had it put on them like this. I’m impressed. Even though Rosemead has been down a bit they still haven’t got a beat down like this from a MVL team in years. It’s Gotta be said the Rosemead QB got hurt before halftime and it was all down hill from there. Taking nothing away from EM the Oline is perhaps the biggest I’ve ever seen from an MVL team, EVER! I still think it comes down to defense with the lions though Arroyo is gonna put points up that’s a given. Even SEM if we can get our act together offensively we can win this league. Hopefully with two weeks to prepare we come out and smack Mountain View the beat Gabrielino and with another bye week prepare and beat the Knights. EM always finds away to lose against us at least that’s what I’m banking on. Good job Lions “we’ll see you soon”
He’s just talking about the 6 on the ground though
Trib said 7 tds not 6 tds FOR BOOTH AND ALSO HAD TWO MORE TOUCHDOWNS CALLED BACK BECAUSE OF PENALTIES
