(Covina)- Covina jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead and rolled to a 35-14 win over Walnut Thursday night at Covina District Field.<\/p>\n

After a couple of early miscues the\u00a0Colts got started late in the\u00a0first quarter\u00a0when Wahub Mallick broke through the line and scored on a 23-yard touchdown run.\u00a0In the second\u00a0quarter\u00a0Covina took to the air as\u00a0Anthony Meneses hit Hakim Williams Jr.\u00a0in stride and he cruised into the end zone for a 65-yard score.<\/p>\n

Three minutes later\u00a0the Colts put together\u00a0an 80-yard drive\u00a0that Ailaoa Tauvao\u00a0capped with a one-yard run. After the Mustangs went a quick three and out Covina had one more shot just before halftime.\u00a0With 1:07 left until the break Mallick showed off skills once again as he\u00a0caught a short screen pass from Nin Burns, broke a couple of tackles,\u00a0left another defender grasping at air and\u00a0scooted 45 yards for a touchdown.<\/p>\n

It was 28-0 Colts at the break and everything had been decided except the final\u00a0number of cups of coffee sold at the snack bar.<\/p>\n

\"Hakim<\/a>

Hakim Williams Jr. caught a 65-yard bomb in the second quarter to put the Colts up 14-0.<\/p><\/div>\n

Covina added another score in the third on\u00a0another long bomb by Meneses. This time he connected with\u00a0Richard Randazzo on a 70-yard catch and run to make it 35-0.<\/p>\n

Walnut finally broke through in the fourth quarter on a pair of touchdown runs by quarterback\u00a0Jared Arellano of 48 and 18 yards in garbage time.<\/p>\n

Covina head coach Joe Brown indicated that he had at least 11 players out with injury.\u00a0“We’re just trying to get to bye week,” he said.<\/p>\n

With the victory the Colts improved to 3-2 and will have that bye next week before facing Northview on October 7.\u00a0Walnut fell to 0-5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
