The Davis High School football team's bid to make the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs hit a huge snag on Friday night as the Blue Devils fell to Franklin 28-23 at Halden Field.
The Blue Devils made it interested after trailing 28-10 with 10 minutes left. Jake Lubisch scored on a three-yard run, DHS recovered an onside kick and Scott Malinoff connected with Darian Hutson for a 46-yard touchdown. The Blue Devils didn't recover the next onside kick but stuffed Franklin to have one last shot. On fourth-and-13, Malinoff looked for his favorite receiver Mauricio Davidson in the end zone but the play fell short.
Eric Stenson scored on a five-yard run and Andrew Smith kicked a 31-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
The Blue Devils are in must-win situations the next two weeks, both on the road at Nevada Union and Laguna Creek. Elk Grove beat Nevada Union 39-13 and Laguna knocked off Valley 21-7. Therefore, DHS, NU and Laguna (all with two losses) will likely be fighting it out for the league's final postseason berth.

In other area action, Woodland continued to look playoff-ready with a 35-6 win over River Valley and Pioneer kept it close against a powerful Inderkum team, eventually falling 27-10. Winters was overwhelmed by unbeaten Sutter 63-10 and Dixon's game with West Campus was rescheduled for Saturday.
