BP Films Newport

BP Films Newport Players, coaches and cheerleaders recount the 1970 Newport Harbor High School football season. Emmy? Yet life in Newport remained relatively easy and shielded.

The 1970s was a time of turmoil in the US and around the world. The social revolutions of the 60s were painted over the background of the war in Vietnam. It revolved around the surf and the sand and the sun. There were many reasons not to play high school football. Newport Harbor High School excelled in water polo, tennis, surfing and sailing - not football. That was all about to change when coach

ing legend Ernie Johnson came to town. 40 years later, the players, coaches, and cheerleaders tell the story of the 1970 Newport Harbor High School football team. Coach Johnson not only taught football, he taught lessons about life.

We are saddened by the loss of Ernie Johnson who passed away September 15, 2013. Exactly one year ago, Ernie was at the private screening for Touchdown Newport. He absolutely loved the movie. Those of us lucky enough to have played for him at Newport Harbor join the legion of El Rancho players and fans who mourn him today. Ernie was more interested in creating great men than great football players. He wanted to win because he wanted his players to know that anyone could become successful through dedication and hard work. Coach, you were right.

His career high school record (including Newport Harbor) was 116-33-5.

Our deepest sympathy and love go out to his wife, Vicki Vogt Johnson.
