(Baldwin Park)-Garrett Hrey threw for two touchdowns, James Fernandez finished with three more\u00a0and the La Puente Warriors took care of business on the road, defeating Sierra Vista 41-7 in a Montview league match up Friday night. <\/span><\/p>\n La Puente (7-2,4-1) will play Gladstone next week for its last league game in a match to determine second place in the Montview and a possible share of the league title if Azusa loses to Workman.<\/span><\/p>\n The Warriors started off the scoring barrage with multi-threat receiver Fernandez, who took a handoff and raced past defenders 29-yards untouched into the end zone to cap a six-play opening drive.<\/span><\/p>\n Junior running back Jose Perez rushed 10 times for 122-yards and a score. Perez broke loose on a 66-yard scamper, zig zagging his way to the end zone with out being touched and extending the lead to 14-0 with 3:42 remaining in the first quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n Hrey’s second touchdown on the night was a 50 yard bomb to Giovanni Rosales, which put LP up 21 -0 early in the second quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n The senior Fernandez, 9 carries for 104-yards rushing, added a 25-yard touchdown reception when Hrey hit him in stride down the seam with two minutes to go in the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n “The kids have bought in since day one when I got here,” said La Puente coach Brandon Rohrer. “They learned that it takes hard work to get these wins.”<\/span><\/p>\n Sierra Vista (4-5,2-4) could not establish a running game and was victim to a lot of drop passes when forced to throw.<\/span><\/p>\n Dons quarterback Mark Perez only completed 9 of 25 passes for 87-yards, one touchdown and one interception. The lone touchdown came after the S.V defense forced an LP fumble.
