COVINA — The Chino Cowboys rode roughshod over Covina 49-27 in the Hacienda League opener for both teams Friday night.
The Cowboys (2-4, 1-0) jumped out to a 21-0 lead, scoring on five of their first six possessions and didn’t have to punt all night.
“This team is relentless,” Chino’s first year coach Alex Arellano said. “We’ve had a brutal preseason but we’re better than our record and now it’s time to show the rest of the league.”
The Cowboys scored on their first possession, a 57-yard pass from senior quarterback Carson Hoover to sophomore Markell Monroe with 9:51 left in the first quarter.
Monroe, a transfer from Ayala playing in his first game, caught five passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Cowboys passing attack.
“Those were his first three catches,” Arellano
