The Chino Cowboys closed out their regular season in dominant fashion Thursday night, defeating the Diamond Bar Brahmas 42–9 on Senior Night. The victory capped a strong league campaign for Chino, who finished 4–1 in Hacienda League play and 5–5 overall.

The Cowboys came out firing, jumping to a 14–0 first-quarter lead before adding 21 more points in the second quarter to take a commanding 35–3 halftime advantage. Chino’s offense remained efficient through the air and on the ground, while the defense held Diamond Bar in check for most of the evening. The Brahmas added a late touchdown in the fourth quarter to round out the scoring.

With the win, Chino finishes second in the Hacienda League, behind Los Altos, who completed an undefeated league season to take first place. Diamond Bar concluded the regular season in third, holding a 3–2 league record and 3–7 overall.
