Byron Bell Makes It Two for Monrovia
The second Monrovia player making an appearance here is Byron Bell, and for good reason. He rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending two passes.
This year, Bell has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 84.6 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 1.14 rushing yards per game.

David Ortega Makes It Two for South Pasadena
Another South Pasadena player making an appearance on this list is David Ortega. He made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Ortega might have his next game, a road matchup with Monrovia, circled on his calendar. Ortega forced a fumble and made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
