El Dorado’s Molnar Storms Past Brea-Olinda

El Dorado’s Alex Molnar rushed for 111 yards in 18 carries, scored a touchdown, kicked two extra points and knocked down two key passes in the Golden Hawks’ 14-10 victory Friday night over host Brea-Olinda.

The Wildcats (2-3) took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter before Molnar ran 24 yards for El Dorado’s first score, which capped a 12-play, 74-yard drive that consumed more than five minutes.

The first of Molnar’s extra points gave the Golden Hawks (2-3) a 7-3 lead.

Molnar’s second extra point followed a 10-yard pass from Dan Rogers to Jeff Moore on the opening drive of the third quarter.

The Wildcats scored with less than six minutes left in the game on a five-yard run by quarterback Paul Chiotti, but that’s all the closer they would get.

Molnar knocked down two of Chiotti’s passes on the Wildcats’ final two drives to help preserve the victory.

El Dorado was penalized 14 times for 145 yards, including two 15-yard penalties on Brea’s final scoring drive.

Brea-Olinda’s Casey King led all rushers with 125 yards in 18 carries. Chiotti completed 10 of 16 passes for 113 yards.

Rogers completed six of 10 attempts for 73 yards for the Golden Hawks.
