Devils run through Herd

The Davis High girls basketball team finally put a full game together on Friday and never trailed in demolishing Elk Grove 51-27. Nikol Allison had 20 points and 14 rebounds in the win.

The Blue Devils (8-8, 2-0 Delta Valley Conference) jumped out to a 17-6 lead after the first quarter behind 8-for-11 shooting from the field. Elk Grove cut the lead to eight briefly in the second quarter, but a jumper by Khaliya Wilkins with just over five minutes left in the half put the Blue Devils back up by double digits.

The DHS lead was no less than 10 for the remainder of the game.

After the Thundering Herd (12-4, 1-1) cut the lead to 10 at the end of the third quarter, the Blue Devils went on a 16-0 run over the first 5:45 of the final period to put the game away. Elk Grove scored only three points in the final period – all of which were free throws.

DHS also shut down Herd star Kara Boyles – who torched the Blue Devils for 32 points in one game last year – and held her to just two field goals and nine points.
