Matthew Donko added the PAT, which made the score 7-0, with 5:53 remaining in the opening quarter. Unfortunately for the Moors, this would prove to be the entirety of their scoring for the evening, as well as the majority of the team\u2019s highlights.<\/p>\n<p>South El Monte came right back to tie the game on a one -yard keeper by quarterback Daniel Olmos.<\/p>\n<p>From that point on the evening belonged to the Eagles. Specifically, the evening belonged to Olmos. Olmos completed seven passes for 81 yards, ran for 69 yards, scored touchdowns on runs of 1 and 9 yards, and returned an intercepted pass 24 yards to the Moor 8-yard line. Running back Sal Tovar seemed to begin his 2017 campaign where 2016 left off, carrying the ball 20 times for 96 yards; scoring on a 5 yard TD dive. Tovar also proved to be Olmos\u2019 favorite target of the evening, catching three passes for 54 yards. Kicker Gasper Beltran also got into the scoring act, converting all three PAT attempts, and adding a 33 yard Field Goal.<\/p>\n<p>Next week the Eagles will return to the friendly confines of The Swamp, as they host the La Puente Warriors. The Moors will host the Rowland Raiders. Kickoff for both is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rich Whittington The Alhambra Moors opened the 2017 football season with a lot of hope and optimism.
