(Montebello) – Schurr’s defense scored two touchdowns and the offense did the rest as the Spartans rolled to a 35-2 rout of Bell Gardens Friday night. With the victory Schurr wrapped up the Almont League title with a perfect record of 5-0.
Alberto Chavez turned two Bell Gardens turnovers into two touchdowns. After Schurr scored first on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jacob Torres to Caesar Aguila with 2:43 left in the first quarter Chavez came up huge on defense.
He picked off a pass from Michael Mendoza and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown. The pick six came just 15 seconds after Torres’ touchdown pass and the Spartans were up 14-0.
In the second quarter Tyler Higashi capped a 55-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown blast to put Schurr up 21-0 with 7:30 left in the quarter.
The Spartans were on the verge of another score after a bad Bell Gardens snap left them on a short field. But Torres was intercepted in the end zone by the Lancers’ Bryant Rios to stop the threat. Schurr took the 21-point lead into the break at halftime.
In the third quarter with 6:00 left Torres connected with Chavez for a 21-yard catch and run to make it 27-0 after the extra point was missed.
Early in the fourth quarter Chavez worked his defensive magic again. He scooped up a fumble and returned it 48 yards for a score. A two-point pass from Torres to Higashi on the conversion made it 35-0 and started the running clock.
Late in the game after Schurr had emptied its bench Luciano Torres, in relief of Jocob Torres, was sacked in the end zone and Bell Gardens recorded a safety.
For Schurr Chavez had two receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown to go with his two defensive scores. Aguila had five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown and Jacob Torres threw for 114 yards and two touchdowns and the interception.
Schurr held Bell Gardens to 17 yards passing. Daniel Tovar led the rushing attack with 67 yards on six carries but the Lancers were never able to get anything going against Schurr’s stout defense.
