Keys to Go-Vina<\/p><\/div>\n

By Mike Martin<\/p>\n

(Covina)- Covina has to be excited to come away with a 21-14 win after shutting down Pomona late in the fourth quarter on Friday night.<\/p>\n

After dominating on offense in the first half, the Colts were finally able to put points on the board with 7:27 remaining in the second. Vinny Venegas muscled his way through the D-Line for a 3-yard touchdown run. Randy Robledo tacked on the extra point to put the Colts up 7-0.<\/p>\n

Four minutes later Pomona\u2019s offense came to life when Tavea Cobb took over for Demetrius Counts, and pushed the Red Devils onto the scoreboard with a sneak from one yard out. Albert Reyes booted the PAT to knot it up at 7-7 with 3:06 remaining in the half.<\/p>\n

Covina took one last shot with 1:01 remaining to try and take the lead going into the half, but Robledo was denied when his 33-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left side post.<\/p>\n

The Colts took control again late in the third. Quarterback Billy Livingston, and all round go-to guy Venegas, drove C-Town downfield. Venegas capped the advance with a 3-yard touchdown run down the sideline with 4:19. Robledo’s extra point was good and the Colts were back on top by the end of the third 14-7.<\/p>\n

Covina’s one-two punch of Livingston and Venegas continued at the start of the fourth. With 9:29 left in the game a touchdown pass, off of the second of three interceptions for Pomona, seemed to silence the Red Devils sideline as Livingston connected from 9-yards out with Gevontray Ainsworth. After the PAT it looked all but over for Pomona with the score of 21-7.<\/p>\n

After a forced fumble and a couple of stops by Pomona, Counts (returning from an ankle injury earlier in the quarter) put the moves on the Covina defense for a 7-yard scoring run with 4:17 remaining. After Reyes split the uprights Pomona was back with in seven.<\/p>\n

Counts rallied the Red Devils with just over a minute remaining from their own 10 to put the scare in Covina, but the Colts defense stiffened after a 76-yard drive and took over the ball on downs at its own 14<\/p>\n

With thirty-eight ticks left on the clock. Livingston wisely took a knee to end the game, capping off a fitting end to one of the oldest rivalries in high school football (first game played to a 5-5 tie in 1905).<\/p>\n

Covina (5-0, 8-1) will take their five game win streak into San Dimas (3-1,5-3) for their final regular season game. Pomona (0-4, 3-5) will welcome Wilson (1-3, 4-4) next Friday night.<\/p>\n
