Corona had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 32.5 points) and they went ahead and made it three on Saturday. They blew past the Kaiser Cats 47-6 at home. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 115th, while the Cats are ranked 493rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Corona's victory came down to the chemistry between Feli Solomua and her top target Ava Liaga. Solomua threw for 178 yards and six touchdowns while Liaga picked up 151 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Liaga has become a key player for Corona: the team is 3-1 when she posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Corona's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged six passes before it was all said and done. Dayami Garza led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by herself. Mackenzie Mendenhall has been hot recently, having also posted at least one defended passe the last four times she's played.
Corona has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 5-4 record this season. As for Kaiser, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-4.
Corona didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 26-14 win vs. Cajon on the 21st. As for Kaiser, they will challenge Summit at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Summit's defense has only allowed 12.2 points per game this season, so Kaiser's offense will have their work cut out for them.
