Trailblazers' 42-16 Victory Over Bishop Diego Sends Sierra Canyon to Finals

"Bishop Diego needed to play a perfect game to beat top-seeded and undefeated Sierra Canyon in the CIF East Valley Division football semifinal Friday night at John Elway Stadium.

"The Cardinals gave it their best shot, but a couple of miscues proved to be costly and they fell to 42-16 against a high-powered Trailblazers squad that is returning to the division final for the second straight year.

"Sierra Canyon (13-0) will get a rematch with Alpha League rival Paraclete next [Saturday]. Paraclete defeated Rim of the World in the other semifinal."
