Friday Night Final: Scoby, Monrovia too much for Arcadia; St. Francis, Rio win; Maranatha suffers first lost

How good is Arcadia? We should have been asking how good is Kurt Scoby? Very good. The senior running back ran all over helpless Arcadia, rushing for 292 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Wildcats to a 49-7 victory. The night also was good to St. Francis, which routed Righetti, 35-14, and Rio Hondo Prep, which beat Big Bear, 28-18. It was not kind to La Salle and Maranatha, who suffered big losses.

How the Top 10 Fared
1. Monrovia (2-0) def. No. 8 Arcadia (1-1), 49-7 – Combine the best back in SGVN with a dominant line and you get blow-out city.
2. St. Francis (2-0) def. Righetti, 35-14 — Ty Gangi throws for 269, 3 TDs as Knights look Golden
3. Muir (1-1) — Idle…Hosts Verdugo Hills next week
No. 4 Rio Hondo Prep (2-1) def. Big Bear 28-18 — Nate Tayco rushed for 145 yards as Kares rebound from last week’s loss.
No. 5 San Marino (1-1) lost to Crescenta Valley, 56-53, on Thursday — Offensive impressive, defense not so much
No. 6 La Salle (1-2) lost to Bishop Diego, 43-16 — Lancers have scheduled up…but how will their psyche handle another blow-out loss?
No. 7 Maranatha (2-1) lost to Azusa, 33-14 — There’s still some work to do in West Pasadena. Minutemen no match for Aztecs.
No. 9 Pasadena Poly (2-0) was idle — Panthers rest up after game with Campbell Hall was cancelled.
No. 10 Duarte (1-2) lost to Montclair, 38-14 — What happened to the Falcons? Second blow-out loss in as many weeks is puzzling. Next up, Montview League.

Thursday Night Football: Crescenta Valley outlasts San Marino, 56-53; Rosemead beats South Torrance, 41-33

THURSDAY’S SCORES
Crescenta Valley 56, San Marino 53

San Marino High School has shown during the first two weeks of the football season that it can score points in bunches.
But eventually, you have to be able to stop someone.
The Titans couldn’t Thursday night.
Brian Gadsby threw for 490 yards and six touchdowns and Kevin Hello scored twice, including a blocked punt return, and Crescenta Valley outscored San Marino at Glendale High School.
Chase Walker had 101 yards receiving and a touchdown from Crescenta Valley, which improved to 2-0. Carson Glazier threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns in the second half for the Titans, who slipped to 1-1.
Glazier threw a 5-yard TD pass and a two-point conversion toss to Tyler Spitzer with 2:25 left. But Crescenta Valley got possession after the onside kick and ran out the clock.

Rosemead 41, South Torrance 33
Freshman Isaia Ah-Hing threw for 231 yards and three scores and the Panthers scored their first victory of the season.
Ah-Hing completed nine passes in the second half, including two for touchdowns as Rosemead overcame a 27-20 deficit.
Rosemead coach Marc Paramo: “We were conservative (last week) and I told my offensive coordinator to go out and play. What’s the difference if we start a frosh quarterback or a sophomore quarterback who has never played varsity football? There is no pressure.”
Ah-Hing: “My second start could not be better. It felt great to let my teammates do what they can do.”

Poly football game cancelled

Thursday afternoon’s nonleague football game between host Pasadena Poly and Campbell Hall has been cancelled.
Officials from the North Hollywood school, which suspended its varsity program last year, cited a lack of numbers for the cancellation. Too many players were injured in last Friday’s 47-6 loss to Excelsior Charter, Poly athletic director Steve Beerman said.
