(El Monte) – Davon Booth rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns to lead El Monte to a 35-6 win over Orange Vista Friday Night in Lion Country.<\/p>\n

Booth was a majority of the Lions offense as he also caught three passes for 82 yards and a score.<\/p>\n

El Monte got off to a slow start before turning it on in the second half. Booth scored on a 72-yard touchdown run on the Lions second series to take a 6-0 lead. However Booth also fumbled twice including once as he was heading into the end zone late in the second quarter leaving El Monte up by six at the half.<\/p>\n

Orange Vista tied it on its first possession of the third quarter when Elijah Robinson hit a wide open Randy Wilkins on a 37-yard touchdown pass. Like El Monte, the extra point failed and it was tied at six. An El Monte defensive lineman got a hand on it.<\/p>\n

From that point on it was all Lions. Abel Cueva got loose for a 41-yard touchdown run on the ensuing possession and Booth scored on a run for the two point conversion.<\/p>\n

The Coyotes immediately turned the ball over on the next series on a trick play that fooled nobody. El Monte recovered the fumble and took over at the Orange Vista 10. Four plays later Booth got his second of the night on a two-yard and then found the end zone again on a run for the two point conversion and it was 22-6.<\/p>\n

In he fourth quarter after El Monte took advantage of another Orange Vista miscue. Joseph Herrera went to the air and connected with Booth in the end zone for a 25-yard touchdown strike with 7:11 left.<\/p>\n

Elijah Banks had 161 yards for Orange Vista but it wasn’t nearly enough<\/p><\/div>\n

After a short Orange Vista punt Cueva capped a four play, 44-yard drive with a five-yard run to account for the final tally.<\/p>\n

Cueva had 12 carries for 70 yards to add to the running attack and he also threw a pass on a gadget play to Booth for 50 yards. For Orange Vista Elijah Banks had 30 carries for 161 yards but he was the bulk of the offense.<\/p>\n

“I’m really proud of our guys and they way they played,” said El Monte head coach Jesse Ceniceros. “For us to beat them 35-6 tonight I’m really happy about that. The one thing I told them is don’t go around them but go right at them, and we did that tonight.”<\/p>\n

With the win the Lions remained undefeated improving to 4-0 while Orange Vista fell to 2-2. El Monte came into the game ranked number 1 in Division 12 while Orange Vista was number 3.<\/p>\n
