(Rosemead)\u2014Ernesto Camacho and Rey Cotero connected for two touchdowns to lead the Arroyo Knights to a 35-6 victory over the Rosemead Panthers on Friday night at Rod Marinelli Stadium.<\/p>\n
The win improved the Knights to 6-0 on the season and the Panthers fell to 1-5.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a rivalry game,\u201d said Arroyo HC, Jim Singiser. \u201cI don\u2019t think these guys (the Knights) understand that and that they\u2019re most team\u2019s biggest game. So we knew they\u2019d come out fired up, wanting to pound the ball to make a statement. I thought we answered back well. We executed on offense, we had a lot of time to throw, and when we did that we made plays and moved the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
Camacho completed 22 of 31 passes for 294 yards and three touchdowns. The bulk of the grabs and yardage went to Cotero who finished with 11 catches for 159 yards scores of 12 and 39-yards.<\/p>\n
Camacho\u2019s third touchdown pass went to Andrew Lechuga with 7:29 to play in the third quarter. On the play, Camacho pumped right to the sideline and then went down the seam to a wide open Lechuga for six.<\/p>\n
With the score 35-0 at the start of the fourth quarter a running clock was put into effect. Mead scored with 19-ticks left on the clock when Steven Long caught a Alex Arqueta pass in the corner of the end zone.<\/p>\n
Arroyo was efficient from the get-go scoring on four of its five first-half possessions.<\/p>\n
After a 12-yard touchdown toss to Cotero, the Knights lit the board again five minutes later on Steven Ocariz\u2019s 8-yard run. Midway through the second quarter, Daniel Mendoza slashed in from 5-yards and before you could say, “Jim Sefton,” the rout was on.<\/p>\n
With 37 seconds left in the half, Cotero caught his second scoring pass from Camacho from 39-yards out. The hands-man made a one-handed grab, landed awkwardly, regained his balance and raced to the end zone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe still got to clean up stuff,\u201d Singiser added. \u201cWe look good, we scored on four out of five of our first drives, we had a shutout going till the last play of the game. We did what we needed to do but there\u2019s little things here and there that we got to clean up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next week the Knights are at Bergstrom Stadium to host the 6-0 South El Monte Eagles to decide the Mission Valley League\u2026and of course, the fate of the world. Rosemead is at home against 3-3 Mountain View.<\/p>\n

Note: A fight broke out in the fourth quarter in front of the Rosemead bench. A Panther player was ejected and several unsportsmanlike penalties were given to both teams.<\/p>\n
