DIXON - I was at Dixon High on Friday night to check out the new football field. I have to say - very impressive facility. Enterprise photo editor Wayne Tilcock mentioned that it puts Davis High's Halden Field to shame, and he's right.
As for the Rams, they lost the opener to Escalon, 32-14. The score is a little deceiving as the Cougars took advantage of short fields three times in the second quarter, scoring three of their touchdowns.
When Escalon had to drive the length of the field, Dixon made the Cougars earn their yards. Escalon settled for two field goals, and the Rams forced two turnovers as well.
Dixon quarterback Jeffrey Anderson is a player of watch out for later in the year. He is poised in the pocket and he has a nice touch on most of his throws. He connected on touchdown strikes of 61 and 59 to Rhiley Norton and Laroy Jones. The Rams dropped two potential touchdowns as well. Dixon did not run the ball very effectively, although Escalon deserves credit for some of that.
Former Davis High and UC Davis star David Butterworth is off to a good start with Pioneer. The Division III Patriots knocked off Division school Will C. Wood 26-21. Woodland shut down Bert Salinas' old school. Lincoln, 17-0. Winters is 1-1 after a 14-7 loss to Willows. Kyle Tobler scored on a one-yard run for the Warriors.
In case you missed it, Davis High School starts the slate on Saturday at Folsom.
