'Dogs have mean bite

VACAVILLE - Even though Friday was a battle of two unbeaten teams, Vacaville High might be on just a little different level than Davis High. The Bulldogs, ranked No. 2 in Northern California by calhisports.com, smoked the Blue Devils 56-14, blitzing DHS 35-0 in the first quarter alone.

University of Washington-bound Terrance Dailey rushed for 192 yards and five scores, including a 73-yard jaunt in the first quarter. Johnny Feaster added 135 yards and two scores.

The carnage did not stop there. DHS quarterback Scott Malinoff was picked off four times and did not find the end zone. Running back Jake Lubisch had 89 yards on the ground, including a 20-yard touchdown. The Blue Devils' only other score came on a Sean Richards' 75-yard interception return.

Will this loss have any carry-over effect on DHS in the Delta Valley Conference? Or is Vacaville simply that good? These are questions that will play out over the final five weeks of the regular season.

In other area action, Dixon beat Natomas 25-14, highlighted by 67- and 63-yard runs by running back Mike Mercado. On Thursday, Woodland edged Rio Linda 26-24 to improve to 3-2 overall. Pioneer fell to 1-4 with a 42-7 loss to defending section champ Del Campo and Winters began Butte View League play with a 21-14 loss to Gridley.
