Football Preview: Corona Panthers vs. King Wolves
The Corona Panthers will square off against the King Wolves at 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Corona is looking to tack on another W to their 11-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
If Corona beats King with 26 points on Tuesday, it's going to be the squad's new lucky number: they've won their past two contests with that exact score. Corona came out on top against Centennial by a score of 26-19 on Monday.
A big part of Corona's victory came down to the chemistry between Feli Solomua and her top target Ava Liaga. Solomua threw for 267 yards and four touchdowns while Liaga picked up 100 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Liaga's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked her eighth straight game with at least 100 receiving yards dating back to last season.
Corona's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Dayami Garza and Lexi Prado. Prado also made four total tackles, which is notable because Corona is undefeated when she posts at least four total tackles, but 3-4 otherwise.
Meanwhile, King and Santiago were almost perfectly matched up on Monday, but King suffered a 19-18 loss. The Wolves haven't had much luck with the Sharks recently, as the team's come up short the last two times they've met.
Corona is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matches, which provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. As for King, their defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 5-5.
Corona was able to grind out a solid win over King in their previous matchup back in August of 2023, winning 31-20. The rematch might be a little tougher for Corona since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
