Diamond Ranch-West Covina to play at SoFi Stadium in October

It’s always a unique experience for high school football coaches and players to partake in a game that’s played at an NFL stadium. When it came to the once in a lifetime opportunity for Diamond Ranch Calif.) and West Covina (Calif.) to play at SoFi Stadium, they just couldn’t pass it up.
Diamond Ranch head football coach Chris Williams announced on X that the Panthers will be taking on West Covina at the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 25. Kickoff for the game will be at 1 p.m.
“Our team was very excited when we got invited to play,” Williams said to Rivals Friday morning. “It is definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity for many of our students. To play in a NFL stadium. And for our students, community and program to be able to play on this stage just shows the support from the Diamond Ranch admin and Pomona unified. We definitely have some players with next level talent, and this hopefully will be something that inspires them to continue to work to be the field at the next level and beyond.”
Initially, SoFi Stadium had previously extended an offer to Baldwin Park and Alta Loma to face each other at the NFL facility on Oct. 10, with the former accepting the invitation. It would be Alta Loma officials, however, declining the offer per SGV’s Fred J. Robledo.
