(Monrovia) – Monrovia jumped out to a 42-0 lead at halftime and rolled to a 49-0 rout of the Roosevelt Thursday night on the Wildcats home field. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

This one was actually over in the first quarter when the Cats led 28-0. There was a running clock the entire second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freshman Ian Macklin did plenty of damage for Monrovia. He scored three touchdowns – one receiving, one on a punt return and one on a long run. He had three carries for 150 yards and a score and caught two passes for 60 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vince Amici also scored three times for the Wildcats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macklin hauled in a 36-yard pass from Angel Morales to start the scoring barrage in the first quarter. After Roosevelt fumbled on its own 21-yard line Monrovia was in business again. The Cats needed just four plays to find the end zone. Angel Morales scored on a three-yard keeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roosevelt punted on its next possession Macklin fielded the punt, made a move and weaved his way 60 yards through the coverage for the touchdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taeven White blocked a punt for Monrovia to set up the next score. Vince Amici hauled in an eight-yard touchdown pass from Morales and just like that it was 28-0 after the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second quarter the Wildcats took advantage of a short field and Amici got his second score of the night on a two-yard run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the quarter Amici notched his third on an 11-yard touchdown jaunt for a 42-0 advantage at the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appeared Roosevelt might finally get on the board when they used up the entire running clock in the third quarter marching down to the Monrovia three-yard line. But instead the Cats stopped Roosevelt at the three on fourth down. three plays later Macklin busted off a 92-yard touchdown run with 7:09 left in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monrovia had one more possession and ran out the clock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amici finished with two touchdowns rushing and one receiving accumulating a total of 61 yards. Morales threw for 111 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 32 and a score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rough Riders weren’t able to muster much offense. Cesar Alonso had 12 carries for 47 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monrovia improved to 2-1 with the victory and will host Pasadena next Friday night. Roosevelt fell to 0-3. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
