Early risers

Yolo Post 77 coaches better have Starbucks (or less-corporate coffee) handy when they open the Area 1 American Legion tournament Wednesday at Chico's Doryland Field. Yolo is pegged for a 10 a.m. start time against the Redding Stars (38-8-1) to open the tournament. Well-traveled Enterprise reporter Chris Saur will be on hand to write about Wednesday's game.

The team, comprised of players from Davis, Woodland and Pioneer high schools, blew through the District 6 tournament, beating Fair Oaks in the semifinals and championship to claim the title.

Yolo (34-6), which is trying to get to the state playoffs for the first time since 2003, would play at 4 p.m. Thursday against the winner of Red Bluff-El Dorado if it beats Redding. Of the eight teams in the tournament, Yolo has wins against three - Fair Oaks, El Dorado and Red Bluff - in the regular season. Only one other team in the tournament has single-digit losses, Vacaville (27-2).
