<\/p>\n\n\n
South El Monte opened the scoring for the evening when running back Angel Valladares scored on a 3-yard TD blast. Valladares then converted the PAT attempt, making the score 7-0, with 3:19 remaining in the opening period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Eagles added their second score of the contest a couple of minutes later when RB Juan Saldana scored on a 1-yard rush. A second Valladares PAT was added, making the score 14-0 at the close of the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SEM continued its scoring display in the second quarter. After scoring twice on the ground, the Eagles took to the air, as quarterback Matthew Medina connected with his favorite target, receiver Tony Aguilar, for a 69-yard \u201ccatch-and-run\u201d. A third Valladares PAT made the score 21-0 at the mid-point of the game\u2019s opening half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valladares also successfully converted a 28-yard field goal attempt in the period, making the score 24-0 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third quarter provided more offensive fireworks from South El Monte. Medina completed his second TD connection of the evening, this time to wideout Fabian Fernandez, for a 34-yard score. Valladares added PAT #4, making the score 31-0 with 6:50 remaining in the quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
