San Dimas Owns Swamp

By George Hernandez

(South El Monte)- San Dimas quarterback Codee Watts ran 75-yards for a score on the first play of the game and never slowed down in the Saints 55-0 win over South El Monte Friday night at “The Swamp”.

San Dimas came in with something to prove after its Smudge Pot loss to Bonita last week. The Saints Watts showed his skills with a 75-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage.

On the second play of the game for the Eagles quarterback Andrew Belzano fumbled the ball right into the hands of San Dimas defender Justin Rubio, and Rubio took it in for the score to make it 14-0 under two minutes into the game.

Dillon Corona had some fun for the Saints as well he took the ball in from 10-yards out to make it 21-0 with only four minutes gone. Jordan Taylor caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Watts to make it 27-0 after a Corona missed extra point. Kevin Kolbeck ended the first quarter onslaught with a 20-yard touchdown catch to make it 34-0.

San Dimas slowed down a little bit in the second quarter only scoring twice, on a 7-yard touchdown run from Andrew Espinoza and a 28-yard run from Stefan Munoz to make it a 48-0.

With all the reserves in for the Saints Angel Gonzales found the end zone on a 40-yard run to complete the scoring for San Dimas and make it 55-0.

Watts finished with 120-yards rushing and 50-yards passing, Corona had 5-attempts for 60-yards on the ground. Malon Delalla added 65-yards rushing. The Saints finished with 420-yards rushing compared to South’s 55-total yards of offense. San Dimas defense forced ten fumbles recovering five.

For the Eagles Jerry Valencia and Dominic Munoz ran hard all night finishing with most of the offense. Valencia also had a fumble recovery on defense.

Next week the Southmen will host Workman, while San Dimas goes home to take on Rancho Cucamonga.
