Monarch Leaps By Santaluces

     The Monarch Knights overcame the Santaluces Chiefs 11-8 in a two-quarter game on Wednesday night. It was the first spring football game of four contests held at Santaluces High School.
     After recovering a fumble at the Knights 29-yard line, Santaluces scored on a two-yard run by running back Val Carnegie to the left side of the line at 7:21 of the first quarter. Quarterback Tyler Kintz went around the right end for a two-point conversion run and an 8-0 lead.
     Monarch would control play late in the second quarter. Wide receiver Edwin Lebron made a seven-yard touchdown catch in the front of the end zone from quarterback Zachary D'Amico with 2:21 remaining. They get a two-point conversion on a toss by D'Amico to wide receiver Brady Brauner on the right side to tie the contest.
     The Knights jumped to a 11-8 lead with 1:03 left. Joao Mattos kicked a 47-yard field goal with plenty of distance for the go-ahead score.
