(El Monte)\u2014The Schurr Spartans ran, passed, and tackled their way to an impressive 44-6 victory over the El Monte Lions Friday evening at El Monte High School.<\/p>\n
The game saw El Monte draw first blood. Senior quarterback Andrew Ramos dove for a two-yard touchdown; capping an impressive eight-play, 73 yard drive. At this point, El Monte looked like they might be in business. Unfortunately for the Lions, this is where the Spartans took over.<\/p>\n
The Spartans first score came on the kickoff immediately following El Monte\u2019s touchdown, as Junior Lance Babb II returned the kick for a 90-yard score to end the first quarter. The point after was good, making the score 7-6 in favor of the Spartans.<\/p>\n
The remainder of the game was all Spartans. Schurr added another touchdown in the second quarter, as Senior running back Noah Rangel scored on an 11-yard run. Rangel also converted the 2-point conversion attempt that followed, making the score 15-6 at the end of the break.<\/p>\n
Schurr completely dominated the second half, scoring 29 unanswered points, including Rangel\u2019s second score of the evening\u2026a 35-yard run. Senior running back Jose Rochin also contributed to the Schurr ground attack as he found the end zone on a 5-yard touchdown sprint.<\/p>\n
The Spartans also enjoyed success through the air. Junior quarterback Miguel Aguero passed for 146 yards, which included touchdown passes to wide receiver Francisco Remigio and Rangel.<\/p>\n
The Spartan defense had a fine showing as well, registering two sacks, two interceptions, and a safety.<\/p>\n
The Lions next opponent is the Azusa Aztecs. The game is Thursday, 9\/8\/16, at
\nCitrus College. The Spartans will host the San Marino Titans on Friday, 9\/9\/16. Kickoff for both of these contests is scheduled for 7:00PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
