Share

Corona 21, El Monte Arroyo 16--David Janoski scored on a three-yard run with 4:03 remaining to lead the top-seeded Panthers at Corona High.

It was Corona’s second football title in three years.

Corona’s 80-yard winning drive was highlighted by Janoski’s 42-yard run to the Arroyo three. Gerald Washington was stopped twice for no gain before Janoski swept left and fought through a tackle at the one.

Arroyo had two chances to win after getting the ball in Corona territory but failed to score. Jason Saldivar recovered D.J. Hoyt’s fumble at the Corona 22 to end one drive. Arroyo got the ball back at the Corona 49 in the final minute, but Corona’s Darrell Bell intercepted a pass on the final play.
