Sierra Canyon’s football team, led by quarterback Wyatt Becker, bounced back from a recent loss to JSerra by defeating Oaks Christian 35-10 in a non-league game on August 30, 2024. Becker threw two touchdowns in the first half to secure the win for the Trailblazers. They took advantage of Oaks Christian’s struggles on offense, particularly without starting running back Deshonne Redeaux, who was sidelined due to injury. Sierra Canyon’s defense, fortified by the return of defensive end Richard Wesley, put up a solid performance throughout the game.
Becker’s connection with receivers like Massiah Mingo and Dino Scordia led to big scoring plays, and running back Dane Dunn also contributed with a touchdown before leaving the game due to injury. Their defense, led by Mikhal Johnson and Madden Riordan, made key stops to keep Oaks Christian at bay.
Sierra Canyon’s strong performance marked a return to form for the team, which had suffered a recent loss. Head coach Jon Ellinghouse praised the players for their efforts and highlighted the importance of focusing on details in games like this one. Oaks Christian’s head coach Charlie Collins acknowledged the challenges his team faced but emphasized the learning opportunity provided by tough matchups.
Looking ahead, Sierra Canyon will face St. John Bosco in their next game, while Oaks Christian will take on Roosevelt. Both teams will aim to build on their performances and continue to improve throughout the season.
