View's Ignacio Castanada tries to spring past Alhambra's Jeremy Maresca (#4) & Justin Baeza (#22).<\/p><\/div>\n

(Alhambra)- The Alhambra Moors jumped out to a 27-0 lead in the first quarter and led 40-0 near the end of the second when they took a knee to stop the bleeding.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

“We got all the bounces tonight,” said Alhambra HC Lou Torres.\u00a0 “That kind of stuff makes things easy.”<\/p>\n

The Moors had little trouble making things look easy in a 47-7 victory over Mountain View on Friday night at Moor Field.<\/p>\n

With 8:22 to play in the first quarter, after View turned the ball over on downs, \u00a0Anthony Ortega scored on a 52-yard run.<\/p>\n

The Vikings turned the ball the ball over on their next possession and Alhambra quarterback Josh Mendoza converted it into an 8-yard scoring run.<\/p>\n

On the first play following the kick-off Moor defensive lineman Javier Covarrubias took a fumbled football after one bounce off the turf and returned it 44-yards for a touchdown.<\/p>\n

On the first play after the next kick-off Demetrius Russell intercepted a Josh Martinez pass and returned\u00a0 it 50-yards for another touchdown.<\/p>\n

And before you could say Gil Ruedaflores it was 27-0 Alhambra.<\/p>\n

Russell wasn’t done as he opened the second quarter scoring with a 71-yard punt return…and before you could say Adam Tate it was 33-0 Moors.<\/p>\n

Later in the quarter Mendoza found tight end Nathan Quinones for a short score in the end zone.<\/p>\n

Before the first half ended Alhambra was knocking on the door again, but Torres with a 40-0 advantage took a knee to run out the clock.<\/p>\n

Mountain View took possession of the football seven times in the first half:<\/p>\n

First: Turnover on downs<\/p>\n

Second: Fumble.<\/p>\n

Third: Fumble returned for touchdown.<\/p>\n

Fourth: Interception returned for touchdown.<\/p>\n

Fifth: Punt.<\/p>\n

Sixth: Punt.<\/p>\n

Seventh: Fumble.<\/p>\n

The Vikings’ double-wing attack, that produced a 5-5 record in 2010, was constantly blown off the the line scrimmage by the Moor defenders.<\/p>\n

“I thought our defensive line did a great job,” said Torres. “I didn’t sleep well last night because I knew what they (Mt. View) could do.”<\/p>\n

In the second half, with the dogs called off, the teams traded touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Alhambra’s Jessie Campos scored on an 11-yard run.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sometimes it seemed Ignacio Castanada (in the center), and the rest of the View backs, were carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders against the Moors<\/p><\/div>\n

View finally cracked the scoreboard with 6:26 to play when quarterback Josh Martinez went two-yards to Jose Gonzalez.<\/p>\n

With victory secured in the first half, Alhambra Defensive Coordinator Jacob Ochoa was put out with his troops for not holding onto the shutout.<\/p>\n

“I wanted it!” He said to them after coming down to the sideline. “I wanted it!”<\/p>\n

Next week Ochoa’s defense gets La Canada at home while Mt. View hosts Bassett.<\/p>\n
