Dominguez Has Easy Time With Notre Dame

Executing on offense and defense, Compton Dominguez did something Saturday that no football team had done since 2003 -- defeat Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.

Junior running back Brandon Johnson rushed for 245 yards in 29 carries and scored four touchdowns as Dominguez defeated Notre Dame, 41-14, in the Southern Section Division III championship game at the Home Depot Center, ending Notre Dame’s 35-game winning streak.

Dominguez’s first drive of the game had 19 consecutive running plays and consumed 10 minutes 5 seconds before Brandon Johnson scored on a two-yard run.

Johnson had touchdown runs of nine, three and four yards to help Dominguez (13-1) win its first section title since 1996 and deny Notre Dame (13-1) a fourth consecutive championship by opening a 28-7 halftime lead.

David Ross and Marvin Johnson each made interceptions in the third quarter to prevent any Notre Dame comeback bid.
