Jostradamus assesses Mike Moon’s sanity as he makes Week 5 picks
Before beginning the defense of its Marmonte League title, Pacifica High football will visit one of the top teams in the nation in Chatsworth.
Pacifica High School football coach Mike Moon faced questions about his sanity as his team prepared for an upcoming matchup against national powerhouse Sierra Canyon. The Tritons, currently 4-0, were set to play Sierra Canyon, ranked No. 12 in Cal-Hi Sports’ state rankings, after the game was moved from Week 4 to give Sierra Canyon the chance to face Orange Lutheran.
Moon admitted that playing Sierra Canyon before the league title game wasn't ideal, but expressed excitement about the game. The matchup was part of Pacifica's strategy to improve its nonleague schedule following consecutive CIF-State championship bowl appearances. Moon stated that while the Tritons have talented players, Sierra Canyon's defense includes commits from Texas and Ohio State, while its offense features a senior center bound for San Diego State and other high-profile talent.
Despite the challenge, Moon emphasized that his team has faced tough competition throughout the season and is ready to compete.
