(Arcadia)—In a contest featuring more heroes than an Avengers movie, it was Monrovia’s Lawrence Spicer who broke out of the pack with a dominate six touchdown performance to lead the Wildcats to a 60-45 victory over Arcadia on Friday night at Salter Stadium.<\/p>\n

Spicer (357 yards on 32 carries, six touchdowns) served as the counter to several second half Apache punches by scoring four times on runs of three, 59, 51, and 80-yards. His superhero performance offset Arcadia’s dynamic duo of Nico Hillier and Raeshawn Roland.<\/p>\n

Hillier completed 18 of 40 passes for 362 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. Roland caught eight of those passes, four of them for touchdowns. Three of those scores were strikes of 72, 60, and 28-yards.<\/p>\n

Monrovia cornerback John McKee was the mortal all alone of the island trying to stop Roland’s heroics. However, in a game full of big time moments, it was the senior who ended up making a pair of game deciding big plays.<\/p>\n

After closing the gap to 51-45 with 5:34 to play, Arcadia’s defense delivered its only three and out in the second half. The Wildcats punted and netted just 7-yards on the boot. The Apaches took over at the Monrovia 27 and Hillier went to work.<\/p>\n

A swing pass to Bradley Mills gained 20-yards and set up and first and goal at the seven. The very next play Hillier looked left for the receiver he’d been hooking up with all night, the receiver who had been giving McKee such a bad time all night, he fired the ball to Roland.<\/p>\n

This time McKee made the defensive play of the night and picked off the pass in the corner of the end zone. On the next play Spicer donned his cape and lightening flashed his way 80-yards to paydirt for the back breaker.<\/p>\n

After the kickoff McKee picked off Hillier’s next pass, on a deflection, to drop the curtain.<\/p>\n
