Diego Montes Dazzles in Kennedy Victory

Unfortunately for Canoga Park, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Montes. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Montes saw the Hunters), he rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 98 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
