The men's varsity basketball team loses 69-61 to Christian Brothers in the annual Foundation Game on Nov. 20.

The yearly Foundation Game supports the Dale Lacky Scholarship Program, recognizing student-athletes excelling in academics and athletics. All of the proceeds fund athletic scholarships totaling $25,000 annually.

The game began with Davis taking possession but Christian Brothers scored the first points.

Junior Ahmere Bradley dominated the court throughout the first quarter. With several turnovers and intense rebounding, Bradley played a major role in Davis’ huge lead in the first quarter.

“Bradley is a monster and he’s just getting started,” head coach Stephen Smith said.

Christian Brothers opened the second quarter leading 21-18, but the teams tied up soon after.

Christian Brother pulled ahead with consecutive three-pointers but a critical three-pointer from freshman Rhys Crawford helped the Devils keep pace. “It’s hard to believe he’s a freshman when he plays basketball,” Smith said.

The second quarter ended with Christian Brothers leading 44-35.

Christian Brothers led by 10 points through the third and fourth quarters. Davis tried to close the gap with multiple three-pointers but the game ended with Davis down 69-61.

“I wasn’t expecting us to foul that many times in one game,” Smith said. “You just can’t play a basketball game with that many fouls but it’s the first game and we learned a lesson.”

Davis women’s varsity basketball lost to the Christian Brother Falcons 34-56 in the annual Peter J. S**o Sac-Joaquin Section Foundation Games on Nov. 20.

The night began with a speech about the history behind the Foundation Game.

The game supports the Dale Lacky Scholarship Program which recognizes student-athletes excelling in academics and athletics. The annual event was started in 2002 to raise money for athletic scholarships and to honor former CIF Sac-Joaquin Section commissioner Peter J.S**o.

The Foundation Game is not part of the official season, meaning the Devils loss won’t count.

“Christian Brothers is a top team,” head coach Heather Highshoe said. “We were able to run the floor well but just need to work on our decision-making on offense.”

Highshoe is excited for the rest of the season. This is the first year that the team will be playing in the more competitive Sierra Foothill League.

“Going into the SFL, every game will be a battle,” Highshoe said. “[Davis is] always up for a challenge and would much rather play a competitive game than blow out another team.”

Article by Leela Davis and Jamie Kang

The Davis High women's field hockey team swept the Bella Vista Broncos on their senior night on Oct. 30, 2-0, continuing its league shutout.

“We knew it was going to be a big game,” coach Beth Hogan said. DHS had not been scored on the whole league season, and wanted to keep up its streak.

Bella Vista is one of the most competitive teams they have played this season. The last match against the Broncos went into overtime.

The DHS team commenced senior night by recognizing their three seniors: Aurora Hogan, Audrey Takei and Hayley Smith. The varsity and jv teams created a tunnel for the seniors to run through and receive a crown and sash.

The first quarter was an intense battle. Five minutes in, Hogan scored the first goal of the game.

Both teams played tight defense throughout the game. Sophomore goalie Kiera Chang blocked several close attempts from the Broncos.

Seven minutes into the fourth quarter, Hogan scored the second goal of the night, ensuring Davis’s win.

“It was cool to end with a bang,” sophomore Kate Loscutoff said.

After the match, the Blue Devils celebrated their victory and snapped pictures with their beloved seniors.

“Senior night is always emotional […] but the team worked hard and left it on the field,” coach Hogan said.
