(Montebello) – The Schurr Spartans hosted the annual rivalry game against Montebello Friday night and for the second straight season, the Spartans came out on top and will maintain bragging rights with a 14-0 win over the Montebello Oilers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Keying the Schurr victory were Efrain Martinez and Elias Navarro who combined for 197 yards and the two touchdowns. Martinez amassed 116 yards on 23 carries while Navarro did his damage with 81 on 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams’ defenses held strong and both teams remained scoreless through the opening quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the Spartan defense that took over in the second quarter forcing a Michael Valdivia fumble that Schurr recovered at the Oiler 24. Three plays later Martinez got the call on a four yard run. Andrew Murguia added the extra point and with 9:05 left in the second Schurr was up 7-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the second, the Schurr defense got another turnover, this time on an interception of Raul Gonzales by Spartan Cesar Aguila at his own 40. It was Gonzales\u2019 interception as he fired the ball down field on a halfback pass that Aguila stepped in front of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the gift by their defense, the Spartan offense went to work driving 60 yards on seven plays with Navarro getting the call this time from his own eight yard line. Murguia again added the extra point for the 14-0 lead with 2:35 remaining in the half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was all defense in the second half for both teams. Schurr did have a couple of opportunities in the final frame but had two touchdowns called back on penalties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spartan defense held the Oilers’ Gonzalez to just 17-yards on 15 carries. Valdivia mustered a meager 131 yards on 11 completions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spartans will now await Sunday\u2019s playoff pairings to see what will be their next challenge while the Oilers could be turning in their gear and waiting for the next season to arrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
