Zach Roberson tied an all-time Summerville High School single-game record with five touchdown passes on Friday night and led the Bears to a 33-13 home win over Bret Harte.

“If those type of things, like records, happen in the course of us winning a football game, then that’s great,” said Roberson, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior. “But that record tonight is a team thing, not an individual thing at all. Obviously, our offensive line did a great job giving me plenty of time and our receivers ran great routes.”

“Well, it’s a tribute to Zach that he’d want to make sure his teammates share in this,” said Bears head coach Ben Watson. “One of the reasons he’s such a quality quarterback is because he’s such a quality guy.”

Redskins beat Amador with late TD drive

Down 12-10, Calaveras High School star running back Monti Wilson scored on a 3-yard run with 1:39 left to play to lift the Redskins to an 18-12 Mother Lode League road win Friday night over Amador.

Wilson had a game-high 224 yards rushing.

On the most significant of his yards — the final three — Wilson crossed the goal line untouched, thanks to the blocking of offensive linemen Adam Bassett, Gary Gellerman, Eli Thom, Jack Carlile, and Sam Wylan.

“We did a good job finishing our blocks and picking up their stunts tonight,” said Thom.

Huge night for Day

Zach Roberson stood 10 feet from the sidelines.

“Zig to Day,” said Summerville High School head coach Ben Watson. “Perkins pass block.”

Roberson nodded. There were 7 minutes and 14 seconds left in a scoreless first quarter on Friday night.

“It was a pivotal moment,” said Summerville right guard Austin Domser, post-game. “First drive — a statement drive — and time for a money play.”

The Sonora High School football team was locked in a close game Friday night at Dunlavy Field in their Valley Oak League opener against Ceres.

The Wildcats were leading 21-13 in the third quarter but the Bulldogs had the ball in Sonora territory on the 28-yard line trying to tie the game.

Sonora emphatically stopped Ceres when Wildcat senior defensive lineman Kyle Petrey made the play of the night — maybe his career.

Softball Hall of Fame has returned

The Tuolumne County Softball Hall of Fame is back.

A hall of fame committee is seeking community input toward making the first inductions in 15 years.

“We’re looking for nominees and we do not want to forget any deserving person who meets the criteria,” said Elaine Wolfgang, a committee member and herself a notable longtime women’s slowpitch player.

Redskins dominate Ceres, next up Hilmar

Welcome back, Tyler Brown, and welcome to one of the Sac-Joaquin Section’s defending champions.

Brown made a boffo return to the Calaveras High School football program Friday night, contributing in any number of ways to the Redskins’ 34-0 road victory over Ceres. The senior linebacker and running back hadn’t played since his sophomore year.

Now, Brown and his teammates can look forward to this Friday’s home game against Hilmar, which won the Division V championship last season. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at Frank Meyer Field in one of the section’s premier matchups of the non-league season between two regular playoff participants.

Bret Harte throttles Hughson, 28-14

“I see the passion coming out of us,” said Bret Harte junior quarterback Robby Bragg after the Bullfrogs convincing 28-14 win over the Hughson Huskies on Friday night.

Bret Harte, coming off a four-point loss to Central Valley last week, was tough on both sides of the ball. The Bullfrogs (2-1) scored a pair of first half touchdowns while limiting the Huskies to one first down.

Bret Harte’s offense fumbled on their first offensive possession at their own 17-yard line, but the Bullfrog defense bailed them out and stopped Hughson (0-2) without any points. That would be the only blemish for the Bret Harte offense.

The offense got in gear on their next possession as Bragg connected with junior Conrad Epps for a 47-yard completion and then 17 yards to senior Carson Klein on the next play.

Summerville's Taylor Gold rushed for 193 yards against Denair on homecoming. MAGGIE BECK/UNION DEMOCRAT
Summerville High School was leading Denair 6-0 with 6:35 left in the first quarter on Friday night at Thorsted Field.

The Bears faced a second-and-7 on the Coyote 21-yard line. Summerville tight end Dustin Perkins lined up next to right tackle Austin Domser.

Bear quarterback Zach Roberson cased the field. Directly behind him was fullback Taylor Gold, who had already rushed for 46 yards on four carries.

Roberson took the snap, dropped back into the pocket, and four Denair linemen went after him. Summerville’s line stood firm. The 5-foot-8, 185-pound Gold helped out with the blocking.

Wildcats win

With 11.8 seconds remaining in the game, the Sonora Wildcat football team was clinging to a precarious 16-13 lead over the Grace Davis Spartans.

The Spartans had the ball on the Wildcat 38-yard line and it was fourth-and-15.

Wildcat senior cornerback Dan Molieri was expecting Spartan quarterback to challenge him.

“I knew they were going to throw it at me,” said Molieri. “I’m the shortest corner in the VOL (Valley Oak League).”

So it was no surprise to Molieri when Spartan quarterback John Woody dropped back and lofted a pass toward star receiver Lance Casteneda.
