The Trailblazers clinch the Mission League title and possibly a Southern Section Division 1 playoffs berth when Mikhal Johnson hauls in a short scoring pass.
All week, 6-foot-2, 250-pound defensive tackle Mikhal Johnson of Sierra Canyon high practiced something he's never done in his football life — catch a pass. Coach Jon Ellinghouse inserted him into the game in the fourth quarter on a tackle eligible play on Friday night.
Serra's offensive line did an effective job protecting Butler. Sierra Canyon did little on offense, struggling to run the ball. Jae'on Young of Sierra Canyon made a game-changing 53-yard interception return for a touchdown with 1:41 left in the third quarter to pull the Trailblazers to within 17-14. 'It woke our guys up,' Ellinghouse said. Serra received a 34-yard field goal from Nate Altenberg for a 20-14 lead early in the fourth quarter.
