Suggested Video

San Dimas won the last time they faced Colony, and things went their way on Wednesday too. The San Dimas Saints came out on top against the Colony Titans by a score of 25-14. Given the Saints' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 94th, while the Titans are ranked 398th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead San Dimas to victory, but perhaps none more so than Leiani Jaime, who rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards. Natalya Gardea made the highlight reel by snagging an interception and taking it all the way to the house.

San Dimas' defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Ashley Sandmark, Makenzie McMillin, Faith Kearns, and Gardea picked up one apiece. Sandmark also defended three defended passes, which is notable because San Dimas is undefeated when she posts at least three defended passes, but 3-5 otherwise.

San Dimas is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season. As for Colony, they are on a 15-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-15.

San Dimas is on the road again on Tuesday to play Linfield Christian at 7:00 p.m. As for Colony, they will stay at home for another week and welcome Moreno Valley at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Moreno Valley's defense has only allowed 7.9 points per game this season, so Colony's offense will have their work cut out for them.
