Could Devils go 4-0?

The Davis High School football team routed ex-Monticello Empire League foe Will C. Wood 21-0 Friday night at Halden Field to improve to 3-0. The first half was an impressive performance with Scott Malinoff throwing touchdowns passes of 10 and eight yards to Mauricio Davidson and Eric Stenson running one in from three yards out. Meanwhile, the DHS defense did not allow the Wildcats (0-3) a first down before intermission.

Neither team scored in the second half as fumbles and penalties hurt the Blue Devils, but the defense pitched its first shutout in some time.

DHS takes on another beatable opponent, Armijo, in Week 4. So while the start is impressive, the question should be raised: Are the Blue Devils this good or has the opposition been sub-standard? And will this hot start carry over to the Delta Valley Conference, which ultimately will decide the team's playoff fate?

For more on the game, see Sunday's Enterprise.

Here's how the other area teams fared: Woodland improved to 2-1 with a 42-20 win over Foothill, Pioneer was spanked 59-22 by Casa Roble, Dixon was edged 21-20 by El Camino and Winters fell 6-0 to Truckee.
