(Montebello, CA) The Schurr Spartans hosted the Bell Gardens Lancers in an Almont League matchup Friday night at Ken Davis Field on the campus of Schurr High School. The Spartans scored early and often en route to a 49-7 victory.
With the victory the Spartans improved to 6-1 while the Lancers fell to 3-4.
Before the seats were warm and the student section was in place to start making noise the Spartans were on the board.
Caesar Aguila fielded the opening kickoff at his ten, broke right to the near side, picked up a few solid blocks and flew past the Lancer defenders 90-yards for the score. Andrew Mungia added the extra point and with less than a minute gone in the first quarter Schurr was up 7-0.
Only a couple minutes later and the Spartans got on the board again.
After a Bell Gardens punt set Schurr up with a first and ten at their own 37, head coach David Ramos called for a little trickeration with a double pass. Christian Braezeale fired the lateral out to Aguila who then fired the ball down field to a wide open Fabian Escamilla-Sanchez who hauled in the pass and was gone to paydirt. Mungia again added the extra point for a 14-0 lead.
Schurr pushed their first quarter lead to 21-0 marching 72-yards on eight plays capped by a four yard pass to none other than the infamous Aguila.
Bell Gardens showed signs of life early in the second quarter when Daniel Tovar muscled his way through the Spartan defense from four yards away. The run capped a six play 60-yard drive.
The Spartans added two more scores to close out the first half on a 12-yard pass from Breazeale to Escamilla-Sanchez and a 17-yard pass from Breazeale to Erik Henderson.
Breazeale finished his efficient night connecting on nine of 10 passes for 201-yards and the three scores.
Schurr finished off the Lancers in the second half with two scores on the ground via a three yard run by Breazeale and a 64-yard run by Mateo Carrasco who came in late to spell Elias Navarro who ground out 94-yards of his own.
The Spartans will host Alhambra who are coming off a win over Mark Keppel next week to highlight the Homecoming festivities while Bell Gardens will return home and get ready for a visit from Montebello.
