the night before our game against Pomona we lost one of our teammates, josh cortez and his mom Kelly in a car accident. our players voted to play the game in honor of josh. Pomona showed us such grace and exhibited true character in all that they did to honor josh and support our football family during the game.

Pomona went on to win the state championship in 2017, congratulations to the pomona panthers!!
