Boys Athlete of the Week:

Kwame Parrish didn’t get a start at the varsity level until the first game of his senior year.

In fact, Parrish spent time on the Covina High School JV football team last year during his junior campaign.

Don’t tell that to the Cal High football program.

Because in his first start, Kwame Parrish went off.

Parrish gained 251 yards on the ground in Covina’s season opening 51-14 beatdown over the Condors in Whittier.

Parrish carried the ball 18 times, and he scored three rushing TD’s.

He had a long of 39 yards, and Parrish out-rushed five Cal High running backs combined by 160 yards on Friday evening.

The Colts also got three passing TD’s and one rushing score from their stud QB, Jake Duronslet.

Up next: CHS will host Baldwin Park on Friday at Covina District Field.

The Braves dropped a 52-29 decision to visiting South Hills, and they allowed nearly 400 yards rushing in their season opener.
