Football: News and notes about Arcadia, St. Francis.
Arcadia quarterback Myles Carr is the epitome of efficiency. The senior standout made an impression as a junior when he completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,872 yards and 26 touchdowns with four interceptions.
Carr, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound senior, is on pace to better those numbers across the board and make a strong case for postseason honors. He's completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,888 yards for 25 touchdowns and three interceptions. He'll lead the Apaches (8-2) against Southeast Division runner-up Bonita (6-4) on Friday at 7.
Paramount loaded with size
St. Francis (8-2) is no stranger to teams in the San Gabriel Valley League, but perhaps for the first time will face a team from that league with considerable size when the Knights visit Paramount (6-4) in the Western Division playoffs.
Paramount has an offensive line that features Thomas Puefuna (6-5, 340), George Aliimatafitafi (6-3, 350), Chris Borrayo (6-4, 290) and Wes Edwards (6-2, 315).
With considerable size up front, it's no wonder the Pirates run the ball by committee, producing 2,330 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Paramount finished 1-4 in nonleague play, and that includes a loss to Monrovia at home. The Wildcats trailed 23-7 at the half and 23-13 heading into the fourth quarter in that game before mounting a comeback.

That's some reporting, Miguel, not sure if you are aware of this or not but in the article about Ft. Francis you never mentioned anything about St. Francis. Oh, but you did mention Monrovia???? Why write the article at all??
