LOWER LAKE >> It was homecoming for the Lower Lake Trojans on Friday night at Gordon Sadler Field, but it was the Willits Wolverines who were feeling right at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willits (2-3) opened up as much as a 34-0 lead before going on to defeat Lower Lake 44-14 in North Central League I varsity football interlock action. The Trojans\u2019 JV squad fared better, beating the Wolverines 28-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe struggled to establish an offensive rhythm, and we took a couple of tough early injuries,\u201d Lower Lake head coach Jay Jakubowski said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the varsity game, Roy Percoats scored on a 46-yard pass from Brody Shields, and Shields returned a fumble 38 yards for another touchdown. Anthony Russell caught a two-point conversion pass following the Trojans\u2019 first score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur defense was on the field for a majority of the night and that is never a good thing,\u201d Jakubowski said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russell anchored the defense with 10 tackles and a forced fumble. Anthony Ruiz forced another fumble recovered by Zamod Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrody Shield had a scoop-and-score fumble recovery on a play in the third quarter when the Willits player mishandled the ball,\u201d Jakubowski said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Willits took a 28-0 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower Lake (1-2) was hurt by four turnovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the JV game, Wyatt Chalecki ran for a pair of touchdowns while quarterback Michael Garner ran for one score and passed for another, connecting with Ryder Steffen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower Lake\u2019s teams are back in action next Friday in Kelseyville. JV action begins at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
