"Defense wins championships" is a saying thrown around quite a bit. And while the Davis High School football team may not be destined for a section championship, the Blue Devils' defense has looked scary in the early season. For the second straight week, the "Blue Force" has not allowed a touchdown until the game was no longer in doubt.
On Friday against Woodcreek, the DHS defense allowed negative-16 yards rushing and forced three turnovers in a 27-9 win in the home opener at Halden Field. While the defensive line's stellar performance has not been a surprise, the linebacking corps, now led by Leon Siegel and Cody Keefer, and the secondary have played better than anyone could have imagined.

Other area schools fared well as well as David Butterworth won his first game as varsity coach in Pioneer's 20-18 win over Florin. Also, Dixon won its local matchup with Winters 26-6 and Woodland won its first of the year as well, taking care of Sheldon 35-27.
