Friday’s results
Arcadia 34, Muir 13 — Myles Carr completed 14 of 17 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns, two to John Wong and one to Taylor Lagace. Nader Doumani returned a fumble 72 yards in the first quarter to put the Apaches up 14-0. Lagace recorded two interceptions and laid one of the biggest hits I’ve ever seen in my 10 years of covering high school football. Lagace and Muir’s Daityevon McFadden collided, with McFadden getting the brunt end of it. McFadden was slow to get up, but to his credit remained in the game and soldiered on. Arcadia recovered several fumbles, including one by Lagace and Wong. Straight up, Arcadia outplayed Muir in just about every facet of the game. After the game, Muir coach Ken Howard said, “I didn’t expect that kind of performance” and when I asked from which team, he said both. No doubt he was impressed, as I’m sure the rest of the West San Gabriel Valley is, too. Muir was healthy, had its weapons at its disposal, but the Apaches made it difficult moving the ball. Muir also didn’t help itself with penalties halting drives and negating several first-down conversions. Good win for Arcadia, that it gave Dimalante his 100th career win at Arcadia must have felt even more special.

Rosemead 29, Temple City 28 — Rosemead scored 20 unanswered points in the second half by way of three touchdown passes by quarterback Matt Macias, who bounced back from a rough outing last week in a loss to San Gabriel. Temple City’s Joshua Simangunsong rushed for 186 yards and two touchdowns in the losing effort. Temple City led 21-9 at the half and 28-9 in the third quarter before the Panthers stormed back.

Monrovia 27, Paramount 7 — Nick Bueno completed 9 of 12 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns. Jay Henderson and Luke Williams had a spectacular performance.

Cathedral 37, South Pasadena 7 — Cathedral’s Zachary Green had eight carries for 116 yards and two touchdowns. Kristan Ivory had seven carries for 128 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown run to lead the Phantoms on the ground. Justin Kornford caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Conor Bednarski for the Tigers’ only score in the first quarter. Cathedral controlled the field position and the defense recorded eight sacks. South Pasadena had eight false start penalties, including four straight in one drive in the middle of the first quarter.

Burroughs 35, Pasadena 8 — The Bulldogs got held to 144 yards of total offense, gave up over 400 yards on the ground. Not the recipe for success. Pasadena led 8-0 in the first quarter, but it was downhill from there.

Golden Valley 35, San Marino 21 — Earl Johnson had 18 carries for 188 yards and four touchdowns to lead the visiting Grizzlies. Ryan Wood had 25 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown to lead the Titans.

Maranatha 59, Western Christian 7 — Chris Cornell recorded three interceptions and scored two touchdowns, including one from 80 yards; Jeremy Major scored on a 60-yard touchdown run and fellow sophomore Omar Younger added another one from 74 yards. The Maranatha defense recorded two interception returns for scores from Xavier Dansby and Mark Jebbia. The Minutemen improved to 5-1.
