WOODLAND - Davis High School players will go to sleep Friday night knowing they beat rival Woodland for the second straight season. But they'll also be wondering about their teammate Jake Lubisch, who was carted off to an ambulance in the fourth quarter.
DHS coach Jim Johnson said Lubisch initially was cramping up, came out of the game but then told coaches he was feeling better and went back into the contest. He came out of the game again, complaining about his back. Lubisch was looked over by the trainer and the ambulance was eventually called. Johnson said he was unsure about the extent of the injury but several DHS players were extremely emotional as Lubisch left Woodland Community Stadium.
Check out Sunday’s Enterprise for an update on Lubisch’s condition.
As for the game, the Blue Devils won 34-23, but DHS led 34-3 early in the fourth quarter before the Wolves tacked on three late scores. Lubisch scored three times and rushed for 73 yards and Woodland made two huge mistakes on special teams in the first half, setting up DHS’ first two scores. A roughing-the-punter penalty set up the third touchdown.
Senior quarterback Scott Malinoff was a bit erratic in the season opener, throwing for 173 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 10-for-21 passing. Malinoff was the definition of hot and cold, completing seven straight passes to end the game but missing on 10 straight at one point.
The reception of the game came in the third quarter from wide receiver Mauricio Davidson, who made a 34-yard, diving catch, setting up his 6-yard touchdown reception from Malinoff.
The Blue Devils were the only area team to pick up a win Friday night. David Butterworth's coaching debut did not go well in Vacaville as Pioneer fell 74-6. Winters fell to Willows 12-0, and Dixon lost to Linden 20-14. Those scores were courtesy of maxpreps.com
