(El Monte) – The Arroyo Knights clashed with the Schurr Spartans Friday night at B.L. Bergstrom Stadium and came away with a 42-27 victory led by a big night from Adrian Calvillo.<\/p>\n

Calvillo amassed 180 yards on the ground and another 39 through the air with three scores to help push Arroyo’s record to 2-1.<\/p>\n

Although Calvillo had a stellar night, it was the Knight defense that got Arroyo on the board first. Josh Arevalo stepped in front of and intercepted a Jesse Preciado pass and outraced the Spartans to paydirt. Ramiro Piza added the extra point for the 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The Spartans fought back\u00a0 and capped a 13 play, 63-yard drive with a field goal to cut the lead to 7-3 with just :09 left in the opening frame on a 34 yard field goal by Christian Hernandez. Hernandez would also drill a 24 yarder later in the game.<\/p>\n

The Knights countered with a scoring drive of their own going 75 yards on 13 plays with Calvillo getting his first touchdown of the evening from 3-yards away.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Candelaria had a huge night for the Spartans.<\/p><\/div>\n

Just a few minutes later Arroyo pushed their advantage to 21-3 on a another Calvillo run – this time from 22 yards out. Only two plays were needed to cover 46 yards after a short Spartan punt put them in good field position.<\/p>\n

Schurr got their first touchdown of the evening with just :25 seconds left in in the first half. Preciado found Ray Whitney in the endzone from 19 yards away.<\/p>\n

After another Calvillo touchdown extended the Knight advantage to 28-10, the Arroyo defense got their second score of the night on a 18 interception return by Dylan Leonardis.<\/p>\n

The Spartans kept competing and went on a 6-play, 71 yard drive highlighted by a 36-yard touchdown run from Isaiah Candelaria. Candelaria shined for the Spartans gaining 234 yards on 27 carries. Included in those 234 yards was an 82-yard run.<\/p>\n

Schurr added a late touchdown with 2:28 remaining in the game with Preciado connected with Whitney for the second time in the game.<\/p>\n

In the battle of young quarterbacks, Enriquez finished the night connecting on 17 of 27 passes for 212 yards and a score while Preciado completed 12 of 31 for 159 yards and two touchdowns to go along with two pick sixes.<\/p>\n

The Knights have a bye next week will go on the road in two weeks to take on Rio Hondo Prep while Schurr will return home to take on Rosemead next Friday night.<\/p>\n
