Thursday Final: Charter Oak’s Vaughns runs wild In Mayor’s Trophy win over Glendora; South Hills avoids mammoth collapse, beats Monrovia 30-27

While Charter Oak was blowing out Glendora 38-3 behind five Vaughns TDs, South Hills nearly blew a 30-0 lead, holding on in the final moments for a 30-27 victory. An interesting decision in the South Hills-Monrovia game came after Monrovia scored to cut the Huskies’ lead to 30-13 early in the fourth. An extra point would have made it a 16 point and two possession game, but Monrovia went for two and missed. They ended up scoring two more touchdowns, but by not getting the extra point earlier, they didn’t have a chance to tie with two two-point conversions after the TDs. In any case, it was an incredible comeback effort.

Thursday’s results
Charter Oak 38, Glendora 3 — The Chargers got their swag back. Aaren Vaughns scored five touchdowns, including a 97-yard kick return to help forget last week’s loss to Amat.
South Hills 30, Monrovia 27 — South Hills almost blew 30-0 lead with just under three minutes to go in the third. The Wildcats rallied all the way back, and got the ball back down three with two minutes left. But the Huskies got the stop and the win.
Duarte 35, Ganesha 20 — The Falcons off to the start it hoped for in the Montview League. But for a team with playoff aspirations, it was closer than I thought.
