(South El Monte)- Mt. View running back Jose Moreno scored three touchdowns to lead the Vikings to a 35-24 win over the South El Monte Eagles at “The Swamp”, at South El Monte High School.
“I’m proud of my boys how they handled themselves with class, period,” said Vikings HC Victor Ambruso after the game was called with 3:20 to play as things began to get out of hand with personal foul penalties. It was only Mt. View’s second victory ever against South.
The victory improves View to 5-5, 2-3 in the Mission Valley League, and keeps faint hope alive for a possible at-large bid in the Mid-Valley Division playoffs.
For the Southmen the season is mercifully over, ending with a 2-8 overall, 1-4 in league after getting a share of the MVL crown in 2012.
Vikings running back Moreno’s three touchdowns give him 18 on the season.
View was up 21-10 at halftime, and led 28-18 midway through the fourth.
Also playing well was Josh Martinez, outstanding at linebacker, who pounded in a touchdown. Quarterback Chris Cervantes broke off a 63-yard run to paydirt.
