Glendora finally got on the board early in the 4th quarter, when Zach Ford scored on a 1-yard TD run. The PAT was added by Jack Norell, making the score 13-7, which would end up being the final score.
Chino Hills next contest is schedule for next Friday night when the Huskies will host the Diamond Ranch Panthers. Also on Friday Glendora will be home to battle the Pasadena Bulldogs. Kickoff for both of these contests is scheduled for 7:00 P.M.
Chino Hills was better at nearly every position. Penalties kept them from routing the Tartans. Pasadena may be more than they can handle next week, as well. At least they’ll be at home again. They will need every advantage they can get.
