Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé football player Jayden Johnson was named Alaska Sports Report’s Alaska Athlete of the Week after amassing 171 yards on five touches and scoring two touchdowns to help Juneau beat Service 48-6<\/a> Saturday in Juneau. <\/p>\n

The multi-dimensional senior racked up 58 yards receiving, 58 yards rushing and 55 passing for the game.<\/p>\n

Johnson is arguably the most exciting athlete in the CIC and his performance Saturday only strengthened that notion. The big-play magnet averaged 34.2 yards per touch for the game.<\/p>\n

Also receiving consideration:<\/p>\n

• Robbie Annett – The Grace Christian senior placed first at the Ted McKinney Invitational cross country race in Soldotna with a time of 16:04 and was 35 seconds ahead of the next competitor.<\/p>\n

• Anna Dalton – The Anchorage runner blazed to the fourth-fastest women’s time in history at the Lost Lake trail run in Seward. She did 15.6 miles in 1:52:02 to finish 3rd overall among more than 600 runners.<\/p>\n

• Jillian Preston – The South flag football quarterback threw for two touchdowns and completed 11-of-20 passes for 116 yards in a 13-0 win over De La Salle of New Orleans in the Nike Football Kickoff Classic.<\/p>\n

• Obed Vargas – The soccer player from Anchorage set up the first goal for the Seattle Sounders with an highlight reel assist in the 11th minute that kickstarted the offense in a 3-2 win over Minnesota.<\/p>\n
