Corona has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will face off against the Centennial Huskies at 5:45 p.m. on Monday. Corona will be strutting in after a victory while Centennial will be coming in after a loss.
Last Saturday, Corona was able to grind out a solid win over Cajon, taking the game 26-14. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' California football rankings (they are ranked 115th, while the Cowboys are ranked 270th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Corona's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Ava Liaga, who picked up 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: Liaga now posted 102 or more in the last seven games she's played dating back to last season. Another passer making a difference was Feli Solomua, who threw for 165 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of her passes.
Another reason for the win was Corona's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Cajon's QB won't forget Lissette Diaz anytime soon given she sacked her twice.
Meanwhile, Centennial lost 30-6 to Roosevelt on Monday.
Corona's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-4. As for Centennial, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-2.
Things could have been worse for Corona, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 20-6 loss to Centennial in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. Can Corona avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
