*** Monrovia got its first lead of the game with 11:20 left in the second quarter. A 64-yard drive was punctuated by who else, Kurt Scoby. This time on a 29-yard run.

*** On the ensuing kickoff, it appeared that San Marino would tie the game as Schofi took the kick off and wound his way through the Wildcat special team. Unfortunately Shofi coughed up the ball at the Monrovia four yard line where the Wildcats recovered the miscue.

*** The game started to get out of hand and out of reach for San Marino from then on.
