(Monrovia)\u2014Monrovia\u2019s Maury Rams IV\u2019s 12-yard run with 4:09 to play put the Wildcats ahead for good in a 14-7 victory over San Marino on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Rams\u2019 score made it 12-7, and Richie Schroeder\u2019s pass to Jordan Erby added the deuce to make it a seven-point advantage M-Town.<\/p>\n

Down 7-6 with 6:48 to play, the Wildcats went to work from their own 16. Rams went for 4-yards before Keeshonne Robinson carried a reverse 33-yards down the field. Moments later he scored on a 41-yard run but it was called back for holding.<\/p>\n

On third and 17 from the Sam Marino 38, Schroeder went down the middle to Elijah Hall for 26-yards. Rams then broke through and scored a 12-yard run to paydirt.<\/p>\n

The Titans after being pinned at their four on the kickoff began a final march. Blake Cabot drove the team completing passes to Beau Hobbie for 41-yards and Jacob Leftwitch 10-yards, and then back to Hobbie for 7-yards. Then with 15.2 seconds remaining he found Leftwitch on a slant. The receiver carried the ball to the five before he was hit and fumbled the ball.<\/p>\n

M-Town’s Alex Marin recovered the ball and the game went to the Wildcats.<\/p>\n

For the three and half quarters, the score was 7-6 in favor of the Titans.<\/p>\n

Monrovia was getting killed by penalties and had two touchdowns called back. San Marino didn\u2019t throw a pass in the first half, threw eight times in the second half, and kept pounding the ball to Michael Chan.<\/p>\n

The senior running back was the offense for the Titans. Chan carried the ball 50 times for 243 yards and the game\u2019s first touchdown. With 5:33 to play in the first half, Chan scored on a 1-yard run.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats responded with 2:15 on the clock when Schroeder went down the middle to Elijah Hall for a 21-yard score. The extra-point was blocked.<\/p>\n

In the third, Monrovia only had one possession and it ended on an interception.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Titans kept working Chan and eating clock. Finally after pushing to the Wildcats 16 with 6:48 to play they turned the ball over on downs. From there M-Town pieced together its game-winning drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
