Obstacle after obstacle. Somehow, some way, Jason Bornn of Saugus kept his football players united and patient enough that they were ready when the green light was given on a spring football season. Saugus went 5-0, handed Valencia its first Foothill League loss in 12 seasons and won the league title. Mission accomplished in creating a memorable abbreviated season for his seniors that had to deal with a campus shooting in 2019, COVID-19 in 2020 and learning from a computer from home for months with no guarantee there would be a football season. “It would have been easy to say, ‘I quit,’” Bornn said of his players during COVID-19 restrictions.
