UPDATE: Monrovia will host El Monte HS Friday night for their first-round play-off game! Let us know if you'd like to go!
Friday night, the Parry family ventured out to Monrovia High School to support our Wildcats as they battled the San Marino HS Titans. On the line was the Rio Hondo League championship, which the Wildcats could capture with a victory.
It proved to be a great night for the home team, which rolled up four touchdowns in the third quarter alone, charging to a 41-19 victory and a trip to the playoffs.
Monrovia's stand-out running back, Marquis Williams scampered all over the Titans, picking up three of those scores with 193 yards - just in that quarter - on maybe six carries. (For those who aren't well versed in football statistics, 100 yards in a game is considered a good performance!). Williams finished with nearly 300.
It was truly an impressive display of blocking and running.
The home team's defense was stifling, denying the Titans much opportunity to move the ball. Cornerback Dujawn Jones capped off the quarter (and, really the game) with an electrifying interception return for a touchdown that covered 60+ yards.
The full story is here, in the PSN.
The Wildcats finished the season with an eight-win, two-loss record, and undefeated in their league. They now move on to the CIF playoffs, where they will take on a yet to be determined opponent.
The MHS Marching Wildcat Band put on a great half-time show build around a variety of classical music. It was quite entertaining, especially for any wives who might have been in the audience, indulging their otherwise grown-up husband's love of football. If there were any such wives present. Which, there might have been.
That's what Robert heard. :-)
Anyway, next week, the Wildcat football team heads to the playoffs and the quest for a division championship. If it's a home game or close-by road game, we might go cheer on the local kids as they represent the community. If you'd like to join us, perhaps we can make a dinner-and-game outing of it as a group. Let us know!
