Sonora run over by S. El Monte

Sonora vs. South El Monte recap

South El Monte built a 27-point lead at the half en route to a 54-7 victory over Sonora on Friday night in the first round of the CIF Southeast Division playoffs at South El Monte High.

The Raiders' (5-5) lone score came on a 1-yard sneak by quarterback D.J. Esquivel in the fourth quarter.

The Eagles (7-4) are the Mission Valley League champions and were led by quarterback Jose Garay who finished the season with 2,015 yard passing and 23 touchdowns.

Sonora received a gift to get into the playoffs when Troy was forced to forfeit six victories for use of an ineligible player.

The shuffle pushed the Raiders into the playoffs.

Gift giving before Christmas. The Freeway League has a hard enough time earning respect in Orange County, not to mention the Southeast Division. Sonora went to South El Monte and had their butts handed to them by a team with a 1500 student enrollment that lost to Del Rio Leagues' 5th nad 6th place teams, Whittier and Pioneer. Troy wouldn't have been this enbarrasing.
