The Lord has used Western as a tool to mold, strengthen, encourage and impact my life and the lives of so many others for eternity.

COVINA – In its 88-year history, Western Christian High School’s football team had never played a game on campus until Saturday.

The Lancers didn’t waste the opportunity, defeating Calvary Chapel Downey 19-0 in a nonleague game.

“This feels so good for out team and our fans,” Lancers coach Rob Castaneda said. “All the dedication in getting the field ready and all the fans who came out are just amazing.”

Western Christian was led by running back Ryan Salausa, who finished with 163 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries.

“He is a great player for a sophomore” Castaneda said. “He works hard every play and never asks for a break.”

Salausa, also a linebacker, led a Lancers defense that limited the Grizzlies to 99 yards. Calvary Chapel managed only one first down in the second half and entered Western Christian territory once the entire game.

“Our defense really stepped up today,” Castaneda said. “We gave up a few points last week, but we made some adjustments during the week and they really paid off.”

The Lancers’ Reed Covington scored the first touchdown on campus when he intercepted an errant pass and returned the ball 36 yards for a touchdown, giving Western Christian a 7-0 lead.

Western Christian will face Bloomington Christian next week as its tries to open the season 3-0 for the first time in more than 20 years.

“We just need to keep working hard and improve every week,” Castaneda said. “We got to understand we are still making some mistakes.”
