SAUGUS : CANYON 28, SAUGUS 21.Byline: Patrick Hipes Daily News Staff Writer It had been an emotional week for Canyon High defensive coordinator A defensive coordinator typically refers to a coach on a football team in the National Football League or college football who is in charge of the defense.
