About the only time Wood stopped Franklin was at the end of the first half. Wood's Fitzgerald Gaines had engineered a 12-play march, but was picked off with time running out. Dunn saved a touchdown on the return with 11 seconds left, and Wood's Mike Cates rumbled 50 yards with a fumble on the next play after Rodney Alexander knocked the ball away from Andrade. Wood led 7-6 at the half, but never did stop Franklin again. Wood finishes off the non-league season next week at Woodland.
Some signals are just to obvious to overlook.
Davis High School's quarterback David Butterworth signaled to visiting Vacaville that the Bulldogs were bound for a long Friday night. His reception of his own pass to convert a third down was just one of the many bounces that went the Blue Devils' way in a 41-5 rout of the Bulldogs. We just didn't play hard. We just didn't play hard from the start. Davis went up 14-0 in the first quarter.
