(Irwindale, CA) Christian Lee and Matthew Montez looked like a “Duo of Doom” combining for 371 yards and five touchdowns to help the Rio Hondo Prep Kares blow past the Harvard Westlake Wolverines 42-14 Friday night in the first round of the CIF Division VIII playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Lee had 202 yards and three scores while Montez added another 169 and two touchdowns to go along with a two-point conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio Hondo deferred their choice to the second half shut the Wolverines down on their opening drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kares got the ball to start their first drive at their own 10 and proceeded to march 90-yards on nine plays with Lee getting his first score on a 47-yard bolt to paydirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in the second quarter Harvard Westlake knotted the game at seven when Ashton Oaks-Terrell got the call on a one-yard plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there it was all Rio Hondo Prep scoring five unanswered touchdowns including a 70-yard kick return for a touchdown on the ensuing kickoff by Matthew Har.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee finished the scoring for the cares in the first half on a 91-yard touchdown run that electrified the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kares got three big plays to start the second half by Montez. An 11-yard run followed by a 69-yard jaunt to glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montez wasn’t quite finished yet as he got the call and score on a two-point conversion to put Rio Hondo up 28-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two more touchdowns, another by Montez and the final blow by Lee with 10:49 left in the fourth put the game out of reach for the Wolverines and into a running clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvard Westlake did get on the board one last time when Kurtis Walker got loose and outraced the Kare defenders 85-yard for a score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio Hondo will have a big challenge and game next Friday when they clash with the El Rancho Dons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
