Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Friday's game: Covina has been on an offensive roll this season, having averaged 373.8 total yards per game. It's a different story for Chino, though, as they've been averaging an even more impressive 246.6 total yards. Will Covina be able to march up the field at their leisure again, or will the Cowboys flip the script?
Covina couldn't quite get it done against Chino when the teams last played back in November of 2024 as they fell 28-21. Thankfully for the Colts, Maximus Barroso (who threw for 124 yards and one touchdown, and also punched in one TD on the ground) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
