Desert Christian Academy claims historic first football playoff win

Before the 2026 football season even began, some were already calling junior Judah Garrison the best high school athlete in the entire Coachella Valley. After all, as a sophomore he averaged nearly 21 points per game on the basketball court, hit .405 on the baseball diamond and intercepted six passes and caught 11 others for touchdowns on the football field. On Friday, Garrison added more validity to that claim in leading Desert Christian Academy to the school’s historic first playoff win in football in a 28-21 CIF Southern Section Division 7 victory over Laguna Hills. Garrison intercepted two passes, returning one of them 101 yards for a touchdown, and recovered a fumble late in the fourth quarter to set up the go-ahead touchdown.

Several other players also had a big role in the win, including junior Jayvon Garcia who caught a touchdown pass on a broken play while the Conquerors were attempting a field goal. Sophomore quarterback Mario Gallo ran for the game-winning touchdown and threw another to sophomore receiver Nathdaniel Guerrero in the fourth quarter. Sophomore linebacker Preston Martinez intercepted the ball on Laguna Hills’ final possession to seal the game. “This

For nearly a decade, the California Online Media Program for Access and Student Success (COMPASS) has provided CA students with free access to vetted online resources. On June 29, Gov.
