And Allexa Valencia chipped in with 14 assists.

Quotable:
FSHA coach, Trent Tcheng: “We came into the season needing to change our identity and style of play. We have been known in the past as big arms on the outside and feeding them a lot. This year, we didn’t have the arms to sustain that style of play. Our focus was to establish a more balanced offense and bring in the 4-5 hitters into our offense. Our players took on new role from years past and became a more versatile team. I was happy with how our team bought into the team-first mentality this year, and we accomplished more than I thought we would have. I am proud of the fight that this team put in and how they paved a way for the teams in the future to follow.”

Photos by Gwen Pointer Football: You couldn’t blame West Covina or their visitors from El Rancho for a low-scoring first quarter.
