(San Fernando)- For most the remedy to a migraine is medication, sleep, or a combination of both. For Sierra Canyon HC Jon Ellinghouse, who developed a migraine before kick-off, six touchdowns and solid defense in the season opener worked just fine as the Trailblazers torched San Fernando 42-14 on Thursday night at Kevin Williams Stadium.<\/p>\n

The City Section champion Tigers came in with an 18 game winning streak but were never in this one. Sierra Canyon’s Eric Markes scored in the first quarter before Josh Cole and sophomore quarterback Niko Harris added scoring runs to make it 21-7 at the half.<\/p>\n

Cole scored twice more in the third and Harris went 56-yards to Dylan Tait to finish the SC scoring. San Fernando’s Alex Gonzalez added 1-yard run to dress up the loss.<\/p>\n

***”I thought for a first game we have a good looking team, it was exciting, I saw a lot of things I liked. Obviously there was some sloppiness, but I think that\u2019s something to be expected in a first game.”—Jon Ellinghouse<\/p>\n

***Sierra Canyon defensive line—LDE: Hunter Mattox, DT: Eric Cohen, DT: Devon O’Grady, RDE: Kanan Ray.<\/p>\n

***”We had a real young team last year and they\u2019ve all been working their butts off in the weight room and it\u2019s paying off now.”—Ellinghouse<\/p>\n

***San Fernando High School is the alma mater of legendary USC tailbacks Anthony Davis and Charles White.<\/p>\n

***Sierra Canyon quarterback Niko Harris threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third. He also handled his team’s kicking and punting duties.<\/p>\n

***”Niko is a really talented kid, as a sophomore were really excited to have him around for three seasons and can\u2019t wait to see what he becomes because he\u2019s really a special player.”—Ellinghouse<\/p>\n

***Sierra Canyon offensive line—LT: Devon O’Grady, LG: Dexter Stinson, C: Marcus Brown, RG: Eric Cohen, RT: Hunter Mattox.<\/p>\n

***San Fernando beat Sierra Canyon 27-13 in the 2013 season opener. It was the Tigers first loss since falling to Sylmar, 47-40, on November 2, 2012. They were City champs that season too.<\/p>\n

***”I can tell you it has been my experience special teams and turnovers win the first game of the season. I thought we were pretty good.””—Ellinghouse<\/p>\n

***The Trailblazers blocked two punts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
