(San Dimas) \u2013 Billy Livingston showed the poise of a veteran quarterback marching Covina down the field in the final two minutes to lead the Colts to a remarkable comeback against San Dimas 27-23. The come from behind win also gave Covina its first Valle Vista League title in four years.<\/p>\n

Livingston went six of seven for 71 yards on the game-driving with the end result being a 17-yard hook-up to Andrew Carrillo in the back of the end zone. Carrillo and Randy Robledo each caught three passes on the drive.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t always appear that the Colts would end up with the victory as the Saints dominated in the first half and raced out to a 23-6 lead after 24 minutes of play.<\/p>\n

After spotting Covina the lead on Vinny Venegas first of three touchdowns from one-yard out, San Dimas went to work.<\/p>\n

Dillon Corona drilled a 27-yar field goal to cut the lead in half at 6-3 with 4:46 remaining in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

The Saints on its next drive made quick work of the Colts defense with Coddee Watts getting the bulk of the yards on a 52-yard run to set San Dimas up at the Covina 35-yard line. After Corona ran for 24 yards, Jordan Taylor found a hole to score from n11-yards out to give the Saints a four point lead.<\/p>\n

Nathan Torres would score on a two-yard dive to allow the Saints to go up by 11 points with 6:57 remaining in the opening half.<\/p>\n

Watts then led the Saints on a two-minute drill that would give all the momentum to San Dimas that was capped off by Kevin Kolbeck\u2019s grab off the helmet of Adam Vanderloop for a 31-yard touchdown reception.<\/p>\n

That would be all the Saints would do from there on out with the Colts making the correct adjustments and taking advantage of good field position and bad mistakes.<\/p>\n

With both teams trading turnovers to start the second half, Venegas gave Covina the spark it needed with a 65-yard punt return that set the Colts up at the five yard line. After a penalty against San Dimas moved the ball to the 3-yard line, Venegas would run in for a touchdown to cut the lead to 10.<\/p>\n

Venegas would strike again early in the fourth quarter with a 52-yard pass reception for a score to give Covina all the momentum and down by only three. Livingston (24 of 32 for 257 yards and two touchdowns) found Venegas on a short pass that turned into a nightmarish score for the Saints.<\/p>\n

The last drive for San Dimas could have ended the Colts hopes for a comeback win as the Saints were inside the 11-yard line with 2:37 remaining in the final stanza. San Dimas was bailed out on an over-thrown pass from Watts to Kolbeck that was ruled a pass interference on Covina to set the Saints up in the \u201cred zone\u201d.<\/p>\n

After Corona managed to get to the 11-yard line, Damarquis Lawson was stopped behind the line of scrimmage for a two-yard loss to set up third and nine at the 13-yard line.<\/p>\n

San Dimas looked to have gone up an insurmountable lead with 2:34 remaining when Watts scampered home from 13-yards only to have the play called back for a holding call.<\/p>\n

A flea-flicker end around pass from Kolbeck to Davante Brown fell incomplete on fourth and 22 to begin the game winning drive for Covina.<\/p>\n
