Jason Strickland, also known as the “man who does it all,” walked away as the leading receiver with 315 yards, 16 receptions, six interceptions, and five touchdowns. He was Valle Vista League’s first-team defensive back and kicker and second-team wide receiver. Jason also played varsity soccer, and varsity baseball and maintained a 3.0 G.P.A. “Jason is a tremendous worker and fierce competitor,” said head coach David Williams.
During the 1995 Smudge Pot game against Bonita, Jason caught 3 passes for 89 yards. As a defense back he also intercepted two passes including a sure touchdown by Bonita on the 1 yard line. With the score 7 to 6 and just 14 seconds left in the half, Jason grabbed a Mark Riveria pass as it bounced off Bearcat receiver Jason Hertz’s hands. It was the turning point in the game and preserved the Saints 28-12 victory.
