They really took it to the Monrovia Wildcats for the full four quarters, racking up a 41-14 win. 41 seems to be a good number for the Trojans as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of points in their previous game.

His passing game has become a key predictor of Hillcrest's success: the team is 5-2 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-3 otherwise.
