Pacifica’s Michael Johnson III returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown and the Tritons never let their foot off the gas in a 49-0 rout of Dos Pueblos on Saturday night at Warkentin Stadium.
The loss provides a mega dose of a reality to a Dos Pueblos team that advanced to the CIF-SS Division 10 finals last season, but returned just two starters on defense.
“It’s not a desire thing. It comes down to not executing our keys and our reads and our fits and our fills. They just weren’t there,” said Dos Pueblos coach Doug Caines. “We struggled with that last week and obviously that continued. We had a special defense last years. We’re returning two guys and none of them are in the box.”
