It was a good run, but Covina unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Wednesday. They and the St. Lucy's Regents finished up on equal footing with a 26-26 tie.
While Covina couldn't quite bring home the 'W', the team still got a big performance from underclassman Raelene Cruz, who threw for 284 yards and four touchdowns. Cruz's passing game has become a key predictor of Covina's success: the team is 2-1 when her passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 3-6-1 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Isabella Barela, who picked up 48 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Covina didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Kennedy Porter.
With that tie, Covina's record moves to 5-7-1. Meanwhile, St. Lucy's record is now 0-14-1.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Covina beat St. Lucy's by a score of 1-0 later that day.
