With just 1.5 seconds remaining in the game Enochs intercepted a tipped ball at the goal line that thwarted any last-second heroics for the Timberwolves in a 13-8 non-league win for the visiting Eagles at Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium.
After the first 24 minutes of the 2010 season, Sierra High held a 25-14 lead heading into halftime.
MODESTO – They say strike when the iron is hot. And in the week-zero game Friday night between Ripon Christian and the Big Valley Christian, it was the visiting Knights that struck first when quarterback Aaron Fay dove into the end-zone for the game's first score and what appeared the early momentum needed for the away team. But the iron cooled quickly. By the time the clock ran out, the Lions had bested Ripon Christian ...
CERES - The streak is over. Ceres ended its dubious run of consecutive season-opening losses at 12 years with a 22-15 victory over Ripon Friday, and it came down to the wire. The visiting Indians (0-1) threatened to close to within one on the game's final play and were inches away of doing so. Quarterback Alex Gustin completed a short pass to Louie Mejia, who turned upfield for a 2-yard gain before Ceres' Jeremy Cagle ...
It had been a while since East Union's varsity football players got to hit others from another team.
When Sierra head coach Jeff Harbison opened last season in a one-sided victory over Lathrop High. His toughest decision was settling on a starting quarterback. Now, Sierra will open this season's title defense against Enochs High and deciding on the starting signal caller didn't come any easier.
Based on 2009 records, Ripon's zero-week pairing with host Ceres looks like a mismatch. The Indians went 7-4 and qualified for the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV playoffs for the first time in three years. Ceres, formerly of the Valley Oak League and now in the Western Athletic Conference, was oh-fer and hasn't won a game since beating East Union on Nov. 7, 2008. The 2010 Bulldogs can snap another dubious streak tonight. They haven't won ...
One of the best football teams in East Union school history didn't even make the playoffs back in 1993 when it triumphed in eight of 10 games.
The 2009 season was one marked by gut-wrenching losses for the Manteca Buffaloes. None was more brutally painful than the 35-28 loss to Casa Roble in the opening round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoffs. The ninth-seeded Rams were standing on wobbled legs by the midway point of the third quarter, down 28-3 on the road. Their special teams kept them in the fight. A field goal with 3:36 left in the third was ...
The pressure of getting that first Valley Oak League championship in school history is finally lifted after sharing the title with Oakdale in 2009 - Sierra's 15th varsity season.
Walking off the field for the first time victorious is not going to be a walk in the park for the Lathrop Spartans.
The challenges that await Weston Ranch have not varied too much since head coach Mike Hale's inaugural season two years ago.
After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Summerville in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Division IV playoffs last season, Ripon High is poised to bounce back in a big way.
A change of scenery might be exactly what the Ripon Christian football team needs to drive towards a winning season.
Week No. 1 Lathrop's grand entrance into the varsity ranks wasn't so grand. Not for the Spartans, anyway. Sierra, where many Spartans played prior to their school opening, put up 35 unanswered points while star RB Jarrod Daniels had 138 yards and four TDs on just seven carries - all in the first quarter. It was also Lathrop's first varsity home game, which ended in a 55-0 loss. Other Week 1 highlights: ...
