Bonita left its La Verne campus pretty satisfied on Tuesday night.
The Lady Bearcats paid back Ayala for its 20-0 Palomares League opening loss in Chino Hills exactly three weeks ago.
And thanks to a 20-13 victory over the Bulldogs, BHS now has sole possession of first place atop the Palomares League standings.
Bonita has a one-game lead over both Ayala and Claremont with two league games remaining on their schedule.
The Bearcats trailed 6-0 after the first quarter, but they scored 20 unanswered points before the half, and they held on for a seven-point win.
Tressa Beatty completed 17-of-27 for 154 yards.
Beatty tossed one TD pass and one interception to go with eight rushing yards on seven attempts.
Jenna Campbell’s 16 yards on one carry account for the rest of the program’s 24 rushing yards.
Kendra Anderson tossed a 33-yard TD pass to Haley Kurey.
Kody McKinney had two receptions for 29 yards including one TD.
Peyton Mann totaled 55 receiving yards on four catches.
Laila Washington caught five passes for 41 yards.
Anderson had three receptions for 19 yards.
Grace Tolan led the BHS defense with seven tackles.
Malia Misawa had five tackles, while Hayden Andrew totaled four.
Riley Lehigh had a 30-yard pick-six to go with her three tackles.
Leah Reynolds and Marley Flores both tallied three tackles apiece in the win.
Up next: The Bearcats travel to Pompei Memorial Park on Monday evening at 5:45.
The Tartans are coming off their first Palomares League victory, a 32-7 beatdown of Claremont.

Quotable:
Bonita coach, Mike Mann: “We set goals preseason and winning league is always going to be a goal we go after. Our mindset is to focus on one game at a time and play the way we know how to play without being too concerned with who our opponent is. We can control our effort, execution, and energy so for us it’s a process of preparing the best we can and performing to our highest ability. I’ve been proud of the resilience this team has shown and we hope to finish out the season on top.”
