Honoring the memory of the late Scott Heinig, Delta Valley Conference baseball skippers named the former Davis High standout and pitching mentor as Coach of the Year at their annual all-league meeting. “It was a classy, classy thing to do,” DHS coach Dan Ariola told The Enterprise on Friday. Elk Grove coach Jeff Carlson — […]
ELK GROVE — They’ve had their final tune-up. Now it’s time to rev up the engines … In getting past Pleasant Grove, 9-5, in a nonleague road game on Friday, Davis High bats showed a little more life, pitcher Jack Shelledy threw five shutout innings before tiring and the Blue Devils served notice for this […]
If you’re an opposing hitter, the Davis High pitching staff’s numbers are numbing. A 1.36 team earned run average. Eight pitchers, all with ERAs under 2.52. In 180 innings, 220 strikeouts. Three hurlers — Ben Eckels, Alec Miramontes and Jack Shelledy — who, if they attended most other schools, would be their team’s ace. “We […]
“I think we can play better. That first round is always so tough,” Davis High coach Allen Carlson said after his charges dispatched Will C. Wood, 3-0, in their first game of the Sac-Joaquin Section girls soccer tournament on Thursday at Yudin Field. The first round is tough? Huh? This is Carlson’s 14th season at […]
Staying objective is a bellwether of good journalism. As you’ve probably noticed from the comments of out-of-town fans, when covering Davis High and youth sports, yours truly is pretty much a homer. There’s a couple of elements that enter into being kind to the home team. One: You aren’t subscribing to The Davis Enterprise to […]
Karen Foster, a longtime face in local girls basketball programs, has been named the new girls coach at Davis High. DHS athletic director Dennis Foster (no relation) made the announcement on Wednesday. Karen Foster, 46, was the Blue Devils’ junior varsity mentor last season after several years coaching freshman teams. She also works as the […]
ELK GROVE — Nobody was gonna beat Ben Eckels on Wednesday. Nobody. The brilliant junior threw a four-hit complete game — striking out 16 — in guiding Davis High to a 3-1 win over home-standing Franklin. The victory gives the Blue Devils (21-4-1, 12-3) sole possession of second place in the Delta Valley Conference, thus […]
When the Delta Valley Conference champions hit the water Thursday and Friday in the Sac-Joaquin Section swim trials at Tokay High, Davis High teams have to let it all hang out to compete for yet another regional crown.

It doesn’t matter how physically gifted some athletic teams are, if the heart is missing — or there’s no courage (soul if you will) — then those programs are forever known for their unfilled potential. This week, when the Sac-Joaquin Section girls soccer tournament begins for Davis High, three Blue Devil captains stand tall — […]
Davis High baseball fans love it when Miramontes is being a smart Alec. On Monday — without much command of his off-speed pitches — Alec Miramontes was really intelligent, thinking his way through a 4-3 win over visiting Franklin.

ELK GROVE — Just like that, the focus in the Davis High baseball season has shifted. With Cal State Fullerton-bound J.D. Davis throwing a one-hitter while striking out 11, Elk Grove clinched the Delta Valley Conference title with a 4-0 nod over the visiting Blue Devils on Wednesday. As Davis’ fastball and the afternoon temperature […]
Better today than next week. Using a stifling defense that bullied Davis High’s offensive force Anna Maria Gilbertson, Franklin came to town and knocked off the nation’s top-ranked girls soccer team, 1-0, on Tuesday. Wildcat Taytana Garrett scored the game’s only goal off a picture-perfect pass from Lauren Aldana with 2:13 remaining in the contest. […]
Davis High distance specialist Trevor Halsted will take his ever-growing talent across town to UC Davis next year — and judging from the way he’s running, he’s in a hurry to get to college. “It’s all coming together very nicely,” Blue Devil cross country and spring distance coach Bill Gregg said after Halsted was named […]
