Rams Stomp to Homecoming Victory

DIXON, CA (MPG) - The Dixon High School Varsity Rams stormed through a 12-foot-high inflated helmet onto their football field last Friday night in their Homecoming game against the Mesa Verde Mavericks from Citrus Heights, stomping them to a 51-0 loss.

There was no junior varsity game so homecoming festivities moved up a bit and the crowning of King and Queen at about 5:30 were missed by some later arrivals. Seniors Kanye Smith, dressed in full football uniform with a crown on top of his head, had to rush off for the game after taking pictures with the Queen, Lianna Rodriguez.

Homecoming Court winners were Juniors Jett Harris and Arriana Okhomina; Sophomores Marcos Mata and Natalie Diaz; and Freshmen Mikayla Marcentelli and Kai Reynolds.

The team broke into two and started warming up while the stadium of the home side filled to near capacity.

Weather held out although biting cold with a touchdown in the first few minutes of the game starting a string of touchdowns all the way to half time when the score was 30-0.

After the school band took their place on the field Drum Major Angel Santa Cruz donned a black Darth Vader helmet and led performances of a variety of Star Wars-themed songs.

The Color Guard performed with flags and board letters spelling out DIXON followed by the cheerleading squad that tossed and flipped other teammates into the air.

This was the time to check out the four brightly decorated floats at the end of the field including the “Luau” decorated by the Freshman class of 2025; A paddleboat by the Class of 2024; a Halloween Harvest themed one by the Class of 2023; and a music-themed one boasting 7-feet-high DHS letters for the Class of 2022.

The snack bar line was handled efficiently and offered sodas, hotdogs, and pizza to Ram fans of all sorts and sizes.

It was all a Homecoming Game including more touchdowns in the last quarter ending in 51-0.
