Football: Sierra Canyon picks up top prospect

Sierra Canyon of Chatsworth might have a top prospect.

Freshman Xavier Mennefield, a 5'9 running back, who transferred in from Valencia a couple months ago is expected to take over for the Trailblazers.

Mennefield led the Valencia freshman team in rushing yards and touchdowns before leaving for Sierra Canyon in January.

"He is the real deal," Sierra Canyon coach Jon Ellinghouse said. "We are very excited about his future."
