Matching win total

FAIRFIELD - It's too early to make playoff plans, but it's not too early to enjoy the sizzling start by the Davis High School football team. The Blue Devils dismantled previously unbeaten Armijo 34-12 Friday night to improve to 4-0. Not bad considering DHS had four wins all of last season.

The "Blue Force" defense held the Indians to 16 rushing yards in the first half. Armijo, which was averaging 290 yards on the ground in the first three games, did rush for 171 overall, but much of that came late in the contest.

Meanwhile, the Blue Devil offense pieced together long, sustained drives. Quarterback Scott Malinoff was 12-for-18 for 224 yards with a touchdown in the air and another on the ground and talented receiver Mauricio Davidson had 126 yards receiving and Jake Lubisch rushed for 99 yards and two scores.

And as hot as the Blue Devils have been, Nevada Union has been just as cold. The Miners lost their third straight, getting dropped by Granite Bay 36-23. Elk Grove is 3-1 after a 67-7 stomping of Galt. As for the area teams, it was an 0-for-4 night. Woodland was routed 45-14 by Casa Roble, Pioneer fell 14-0 at Rio Linda, Dixon was thumped 41-0 at Yuba City and Winters lost 28-14 to Anderson.

Nevada Union is not as bad as the record. They lost to three good teams in Vintage, Del Oro, and Granite Bay. Davis will lose to the Miners. Trust me!
