(Arcadia) – Rio Hondo Prep rushed for 313 yards and five touchdowns in a 43-16 rout of Warren Friday night to win the CIF Division 7 Championship at Arcadia High School. The Kares have now won back-to-back CIF titles after winning in Division 9 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Noah Penunuri ran for 220 of those yards and three touchdowns while Caeden Holcomb rushed for 69 yards and a score. Nate Curtis added 17 yards and another touchdown on the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kares, already leading 15-10, broke Warren’s spirit in the third quarter. They took the kickoff to open the quarter and chewed up nearly nine minutes off the clock driving 80- yards on 17 plays for a touchdown. Curtis Penunuri finished the march with a 15-yard run to put Rio Hondo Prep up 22-10 with 3:18 left in the third. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kares then recovered an onside kick and were immediately in business again. When the third quarter ended Rio Hondo had the ball at the Warren 21-yard line. The Bears never touched the ball in the quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the first play of the fourth quarter Penunuri went the final 21 yards for his third score of the night to make it 29-10 and although the game wasn’t over Warren looked like a beaten and broken team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warren quarterback Jamar Malone II fumbled on the next possession and Rio Hondo Prep recovered at its own 39. Holcomb capped this scoring march with a one-yard run and suddenly it was 36-10 with 4:06 left and that was the old ballgame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bears added a quick score on a four-yard touchdown run by Malone with 2:23 left but on an onside kick Holcomb grabbed it and rumbled 50 yards for a touchdown to account for the final score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A close game in the first half and well into the third quarter ended up looking like a rout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio Hondo Prep led 15-10 at halftime. Penunuri and Curtis both scored on four-yard runs to finish drives. Penunuri’s score and his two-point conversion run put the Kares up 8-3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warren actually got on the board first on a 25-yard field goal by John Jaimes. The Bears also took a 10-8 lead on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Malone to Skylar Lendsey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kares then came out and took control in the third quarter and went on to win their second straight title. As has been the motive throughout the season their offense is based on the running attack. The Kares threw only one pass in the game. It was incomplete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malone threw for 205 yards and a touchdown for Warren but it wasn’t nearly enough. The Bears finished the season with an overall record of 6-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kares now can boast about consecutive CIF titles and an overall record this year of 12-1. They will now wait to see who their opponent will be in the State playoffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
