Bulldogs take bite out of Indians - Daily Republic

October 30, 2011

FAIRFIELD — Vacaville High was the model of efficiency Friday night at Armijo’s Brownlee Field, smothering the host Indians 63-3 in Monticello Empire League play.

The Bulldogs (7-1, 3-0 MEL) scored on every possession. Seven different players crossed the goal line. Reed White tallied nine extra points.

Armijo (1-7, 0-3) struggled in every way offensively. The Indians earned five first downs and amassed a net total of negative-3 yards rushing. Jacob Chauvin threw for 83 yards, 40 of which came on the final play of the game.

Armijo coach Aaron Tolliver said that despite the lopsided outcome, he was proud of his players.

“We looked at it as a scrimmage against the best team you can find,” he said. “We didn’t quit in the second half.”

The Indians’ 3 points came after the Bulldogs fumbled on the first play of the second half and Victor Calderon booted a 35-yard field goal around the 8-minute mark.

The rest was all Vacaville.

Vacaville’s Melvin Mason and Curtis Goins had two touchdowns each, with Goins striking first.

On the Bulldogs’ first handoff of the game, Goins bolted 67 yards down his own sideline for a 7-0 lead.

With exactly 7 minutes to go in the first, Mason upped the tally to 14-0 after a 6-yard blast up the gut for a TD.

Vacaville’s third touchdown came after Justin Garner made a diving catch for an interception on a Chauvin throw. Swapping starter Coleman Christensen for Nic Ardave behind center, the new QB capped a two-play drive with a 14-yard dash to the left side of the line and into the end zone to give his team a 21-0 edge.

After an Armijo punt, it was Jacob Te’o who wound his way past the Armijo linebackers and exploded through the secondary for a 67-yard TD tote, putting the Bulldogs up 28-0 with 2:20 remaining in the opening quarter.

Two plays later, Vacaville’s Curtis Bleasdale stripped the ball out of Chauvin’s hands. Thirteen yards from the end zone, Ardave hit Goins on a screen pass for Vacaville’s fifth touchdown of the first quarter to go up 35-0.

The Indians went four-and-out on their next drive. On his final carry of the night and the second play of the drive, Mason hurdled a defender to stay in bounds on his own sideline en route to a 30-yard score and a 42-0 lead.

The final tally of the first half came with 2 minutes to go in the first half, as Daniel Mewborn burst through the line for 9 yards to gave Vacaville a 49-0 halftime edge.

After Calderon’s field goal, Vacaville made it 56-3 on its longest drive of the night, a 10-play, 80-yard effort that ended when David Mewborn ran 23 yards down the left side.

The scoring closed around the 6-minute mark of the fourth quarter. Pinned on its own 2 after Calderon’s stellar punt, Marwin Wilson ran 98 yards for a touchdown with an Armijo defender in hot pursuit falling as he reached to make the tackle.

Bulldogs travel to Armijo in MEL action

Vacaville at Armijo

"Don't think, just play," might be a good motto for the Bulldogs this week.

Vacaville (6-1, 2-0 in MEL action) has won five straight games going into tonight's clash at Armijo. The Indians (1-6, 0-2) have lost five straight.

Armijo lost to Napa 62-0 last week. Vacaville downed Napa 35-21 two weeks ago.

The Indians have scored just four touchdowns in five games since snapping a 17-game losing streak with a 29-13 win over Valley of South Sacramento in week two....

Mike Corpos- Daily Republic

FAIRFIELD — There was little for Fairfield High football fans to cheer on Senior Night as the host Falcons went quietly against Vacaville in a 56-7 Monticello Empire League rout.

Racked by injuries, Fairfield (1-6, 0-2 MEL) was missing a handful of starters and key reserves, putting the backups to the test against the odds-on favorites to win the MEL title.

It was quickly apparent that Vacaville meant business.

Despite turning the ball over to the Falcons thr...
