(South El Monte) – Tony Aguilar did a little bit of everything for South El Monte in a 27-14 victory over Garey at \u201cThe Swamp\u201d Thursday night. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n
The Eagles looked good on their first drive but two incompletions and two failed runs stopped the march drive on the two- yard line.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings Garey tried to take advantage and pounded the ball up the field but a pitch pass went through the back of the end zone and Garey turned it over on downs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the next drive South quarterback Matthew Medina found Fabian Hernandez on a pair of big pass plays and running back Michael Valencia capped it off with a 16-yard run to paydirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Eagles recovered an onside kick but weren\u2019t able to capitalize.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garey tried to take advantage of the turnover on downs but big running back Miguel Pascual got stopped on the four- yard line.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings took over first in the second half and moved down field with a pass from Iker Saavedra to David Davila then a 3-yard blast from Alex Vaca to it tie it up at 7-7.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South\u2019s next possession resulted in a punt but Garey muffed it and gave it right back.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eagles took advantage and Medina hit Aguilar for a 32-yard catch and run making it 13-7 after a missed extra point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just 15-seconds later the Vikings took the lead when Vaca broke a 58-yard run to the end zone to make it 14-13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It only took the Eagles 18-seconds to take the lead back when Medina hit Nathan Mendoza who was wide open and he took it to the house from 68-yards out making it 20-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garey was stopped again on fourth and short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a few series from both teams that saw a turnover on downs and a punt, the Vikings Raul Osorio ripped the ball out of Medina\u2019s hands and gave Garey a shot at tying the game and taking the lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saavedra would roll out and get picked off by Aguilar who took it 95-yards for the score and to put the game away at 27-14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
South El Monte will stay home and face Firebaugh next week while Garey, still looking for its first win, will face Wilson (Hacienda Heights).\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
