VACAVILLE - The Davis High football team totaled 143 yards on 14 penalties against 139 yards of offense in a 22-7 loss to Will C. Wood on Friday at Vacaville's Tom Zunino stadium.
The Wildcats ran the ball 44 times for 191 yards with Mike McChristian leading the way with 56 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown. Josh Landers added 39 yards on 12 rushes and two short touchdown runs.
The Blue Devils drove 77 yards on 12 plays at the end of the first half for their first touchdown of the season. Derek Nelson found Darius Harris in the back of the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown pass.
Among the plays DHS had negated, the two biggest were a 50-yard return on the opening kickoff by Nelson, and a 45-yard touchdown scamper by Alex Bell which would have cut the lead to 22-14 with 8 minutes to go.
The win was Wood's first on the field since Oct. 7, 2006 - the Wildcats lost to Fairfield in 2007 but ended up winning because Fairfield used an ineligible player.
The question is now - when will the Blue Devils pick up their first win? DHS takes on Division III Pioneer next week at Halden Field. The Patriots beat Foothill 21-16 on Friday.
In other area games, Woodland beat El Camino 24-14 in a Thursday matchup. Dixon rushed for 298 yards and improved to 2-1 with a 22-7 win over Amador. LaRoy Jones and Jason Harvey rushed for TDs and Jeffrey Anderson tossed a TD as well. Winters lost its third straight after a 26-21 loss to Vacaville Christian.
