Mikey Vasquez rushed for 159 yards <\/p><\/div>\n

(Montebello)- Eddie Federico threw two touchdown passes in the last 3:37 of the game to propel Arroyo to a 12-8 victory over Montebello\u00a0Friday night. The game winner was a 23 yard strike to Anthony Miller with 57 seconds\u00a0left that stunned the Oliers.<\/p>\n

Federico\u00a0took over for\u00a0Steven Rivera who\u00a0went out\u00a0with an injured right ankle\u00a0mid way through the second quarter.\u00a0Early reports are that it is a\u00a0bad sprain but not a break.<\/p>\n

“That’s why we bring\u00a047 players on the bus,” said Arroyo Coach Jim Singsier.\u00a0“It’s not a one man team. Everybody has to step up.\u00a0That’s\u00a0why we give Eddie all those snaps in practice.\u00a0So he’ll be ready.”<\/p>\n

Arroyo had been shut out up to that point.\u00a0Penalties and turnovers had plagued them through out the contest.\u00a0Federico threw two interceptions\u00a0in the third quarter.\u00a0The Knights also had a punt blocked and turned the ball over on a fumble.<\/p>\n

In the first half, Arroyo’s\u00a0possessions ended in three punts, a blocked punt, and a fourth down stop.\u00a0The defense kept Arroyo in the game\u00a0however as they continued to deny Montebello. They stopped the Oliers twice deep in the red zone in the second half – once on an interception by Mike Amaya in the end zone and another on a blocked field goal attempt.<\/p>\n

“We just kept\u00a0playing defense. That’s what\u00a0kept us in it,”\u00a0Singiser said.<\/p>\n

The Oilers lone score came with 9:23 left in the second\u00a0quarter when they took over at the Arroyo 19 after the blocked punt.\u00a0Five plays later,\u00a0Johnny Salinas scored on seven yard run.\u00a0On the point after, a bad snap forced Montebello to attempt a pass into the end zone.\u00a0The pass was incomplete but\u00a0Arroyo was called for an interference penalty.\u00a0Lashawn Howard then ran in the two point conversion\u00a0for an 8-0 lead.<\/p>\n

It stayed that way unitl late in the fourth when Arroyo put together a four play, 80 yard drive. Mikey Vasquez\u00a0broke loose for\u00a0a 23 yard run and then Federico found Hunter Duran\u00a0for a 53 yard touchdown pass.<\/p>\n

After Arroyo stopped Montebello, the Knights got the ball back at their own 30 with 2:05 left. Federico hit Miller on two big passes including one on fourth and 11 that kept the drive alive.\u00a0Miller then hauled in the 23 yard touchdown pass that proved to be the game winner.<\/p>\n

Vasquez had 26 carries for\u00a0159 yards. Federico threw for 135 yards and two touchdowns for the Knights. Howard was the leading ground gainer for Montebello with 83 yards on 14 carries.<\/p>\n

Arroyo improved to 3-0\u00a0and will face Hart next week.\u00a0Montebello (0-3) will host El Rancho.<\/p>\n
