WoodвЂ™s next drive started at their own 18 and ended when quarterback Ken Tilford had the ball taken away by Eric Gladney, giving the Bulldogs a first down at the Wood 23. Vaughan then connected with Darian Leon-Guerrero on a short pass that the senior running back hauled in on the left side of the field, dashed across to the right side and scampered 40 yards into the end zone for a 14-0 Bulldog lead. The next Wood drive started at their own 15, and three plays later the Wildcats punted again. I shifted my mind to defense, but I am there if they need me on offense.вЂќ вЂњI used to run the ball a lot my freshman, sophomore year. вЂњWhen one person does good, it opens it up for another person,вЂќ said Espino, who made several key stops on defense as well as scoring two touchdowns. The BulldogsвЂ™ first drive ended with a missed 40-yard field goal, but after a quick three and out by Wood, Vacaville got the ball back and capped a nine-play drive with a five-yard score by occasional running back/full time defensive lineman Blake Espino to take a 7-0 lead. вЂњTo get the ball in our playmakersвЂ™ hands as soon as possible and get a rhythm going, that was our goal, and we did it from the get-go, so it worked out good.вЂќ

вЂњWe wanted to come out swinging because we knew they had some guys going both ways,вЂќ Vaughan said of VacavilleвЂ™s up-tempo offensive attack.

Quarterback Ryan Vaughan racked up 108 yards passing in just the first quarter, connecting with four different receivers, and finished the night with 243 yards and two touchdowns. While the Bulldog defense was its usual solid self, holding the host Wildcats to a measly 103 yards, the offense was equally solid.

Oblivion two sides of the coin
