The Davis High women’s flag football team lost to Del Oro in a 10-0 game on Sept. 11.

The game kicked off with three defensive flag pulls from senior Soni Clayton within the first quarter. Clayton went on to pull nine more flags during the rest of the game.

“If it was not for her, this game definitely would have been a whole different outcome,” head coach Santiago Gonzalez said.

Both teams showed strong defensive efforts during the rest of the half, as both teams pushed the ball forward but failed to score.

“I’m super proud of our defense, they kept (Del Oro) basically scoreless until the fourth quarter,” junior Holly Nichols said.

The second half began with an exciting interception by Clayton, putting the Blue Devils three yards from the goal line. However, Del Oro’s defense put up a tough fight, stopping Davis inches away from scoring a touchdown.

Undeterred by the failed touchdown attempt, Davis’ defense played strong. Junior Leah Dombrowski made an essential flag pull to stop Del Oro after a 30 yard gain during the third quarter.

Despite the effort, Del Oro managed a second safety in the fourth quarter, extending their lead to 4-0. With 15 seconds left in the game, Davis still had the chance to win with a touchdown, but Del Oro sealed the win with a pick-six, making the final score 10-0.

Del Oro, having won the section championships last year, was strong competition for the Davis team. “Against section champs, I was expecting that it was going to be a little more of a blow out, but I thought we came out really strong in the defense, which held the team down,” Clayton said.

The Davis High women’s varsity tennis team defeated the Granite Bay Grizzlies on Sept. 9 by a score of 6-3.

Coming into the match, the Blue Devils knew what they were up against. Granite Bay is known as one of the toughest teams in the league, winning the Sierra Foothill League last year, and this time around, the Blue Devils were without head coach Sally Hosley.

Despite the odds, the Blue Devils fought hard, winning three of six singles matches. Sophomore Gianna Ji faced Granite Bay’s top player and, despite the loss, pushed through long rallies and showed determination. “I think I learned a lot from it, and I got a lot of deuces with her,” Ji said.

Sophomore Lilah Shapiro helped secure the win with a strong singles match, winning, 6-3. “(My opponent) was very good and hit the ball really hard,” Shapiro said. “But I was able to stay consistent and pull through.”

That energy carried into doubles, where Davis dominated, sweeping all three matches.

On Court 5, Davis battled through a close third-set tiebreak and won 6-4, 3-6 and 16-14. “Our doubles really pulled it together,” JV coach Julie Kuo said. “We went to tiebreakers in three of our matches, and we ended up winning all of them.”

With the 6-3 victory, the Blue Devils showed they can compete with anybody this season.
