Vacaville 38, Granite Bay 27
A week after losing a 14 point fourth quarter lead at Marin Catholic, Vacaville played well in the final frame to upend No. 5 Granite Bay 38-27. Junior Curtis Goins had 138 yards and four touchdowns, including two scores in the fourth quarter. Granite Bay also showed off its running game behind Arik Bird, who rushed for 216 yards and a score as well as blocking a punt for another touchdown.
Vacaville takes down Granite Bay
NCP's Take: This is an important win for Vacaville for this season and in regards to the overall program. After taking two blowout losses to Valley Christian-San Jose and Folsom last year (despite winning at Granite Bay) and losing a fourth quarter lead last week, the outside perception of the program was in question. This win helps stabilize that heading into another tough game with Valley Christian-San Jose this week. Granite Bay dropped its first game of the year, but should benefit from a week off before playing Pittsburg to end the month. Still a very solid football team.
