yards, followed by Teddy Randberg with 79 and Mc- Clellan with 62. The Warriors (0-2) are scheduled to face Loyal- ton on the road at 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. Lightsmalfunction, LosMo game called LOS MOLINOS With just a few minutes left in the first quarter Friday night, the lights at Los Molinos High School's field started smoking and the game against Redding Christian was called, according to Athletic Director Chas Ko- nopka. The malfunction was likely caused by a hor- net nest or other obstruc- tion in the lights, Konopka said, and the lighting is expected to be repaired before the next home game scheduled for Oct. 9 against Mercy. Friday was the Bulldogs' first home game in three years after the school was unable to field a team in re- cent years. The team is 1-1 on the season with an opening loss to Big Valley and a win against Dunsmuir. Friday's game against Redding Christian was de- clared a no contest, Ko- nopka said and there is no room on the scheduled to reschedule the match-up. The Bulldogs are slated to travel to Greenville for a 7 p.m. start Friday, Sept. 18. Football FROM PAGE 1 Assistant coaches said they would go back to the drawing board this week to put together defensive schemes to stop the run, but cautioned this was only the third week of the sea- son. Next week, when the team faces Corning in the Shoot Out rivalry, the Spar- tans could find themselves at 2-2. "After two losses there will be a lot of naysayers out there," Hein warned his players. "You've got to clear all the noise out" and fo- cus on staying out of trou- ble and working hard in practice. Hein said the Shoot Out is special for both teams and it would be the one week that the record books andstandingswon'tmatter. Hein said he was im- pressed with how well his team was able to score Friday, but giving up big scores was demoralizing for his players. Tackling was improved early in the game. The Spartans are sched- uled to face the Corning Cardinals at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 18 in Corning. The Cardinals won im- pressively at home Sept. 4 against Las Plumas 49- 6, but fell Friday to pow- erhouse Pleasant Valley in Chico 38-7. Spartans FROM PAGE 1 By Howard Fendrich TheAssociatedPress NEW YORK Novak Djokovic could not find his keys. Alone in a parking lot outside Arthur Ashe Sta- dium at about 2 a.m. Monday, a handful of hours after beating Roger Federer in the U.S. Open final for his third major ti- tle of 2015 and 10th over- all, there stood Djokovic, unable to unlock the car he'd been using to drive himself between the tour- nament site in Queens and the hotel near Cen- tral Park where he stayed with his wife and their 10-month-old son the past two weeks. Turned out, he said, a member of his entou- rage accidentally grabbed the keys while gather- ing Djokovic's bags. So Djokovic reluctantly ac- cepted a ride from a U.S. Open courtesy car, which is how most players get around. It's just that this 28-year-old from Serbia prefers to be in the driv- er's seat, an apt metaphor for his Grand Slam status these days. "It gives me a little bit of time for myself, to re- lax. Listening to mu- sic, going through my thoughts. I love driv- ing here, because I don't get a lot of chances to do that throughout the year," Djokovic said Monday. After watching Djokovic beat No. 2 Fe- derer 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday night, Mats Wilander, who won three major tournaments in 1988, made the point that Djokovic can succeed on any surface, against any style of play and against any specific opponent. Federer offered a simi- lar assessment. "He's just really consis- tent. Seems like there are not many guys that can hang with him. ... He's perfected his game on the hard courts, no doubt about it. He was always a great clay-court player. And because he moves as well as he does, he's solid and consistent now on the grass," Federer said. "To say the least, it's very im- pressive." Djokovic joined Federer (2004, 2006, 2007) and Laver (who won a true Grand Slam in 1969) as the only men in the Open era, which dates to 1968, to reach all four major fi- nals in a year. Djokovic went 27-1 at Grand Slam tournaments this season, the lone loss against Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final. "I really feel like every- thing happens for a rea- son," Djokovic said. "If I won that match, God knows if I would be able to win Wimbledon. Maybe I would be satisfied." ON TENNIS Djokovic in Grand Slam driver's seat the championship game against the well-respected Fall River Bulldogs, who beat the Bulldogs 25-21, 25-17. All Tournament selec- tions included sophomore Rachel Rogers, junior Liset Castillo and senior Vanesa Cota, who also won the Varsity Setting Skills com- petition. The Bulldogs are sched- uled to play in Live Oak Tuesday and begin the Los Molinos Beth Pilger Invi- tational Tournament on Thursday with an 11:30 a.m. start against Chester, 1:30 p.m. against Princeton and 3:30 p.m. against Wil- liams. Mercy competes at Lady Brave tourney The Mercy Warriors dropped two matches and won one Thursday but swept both matches Satur- day at the Lady Brave In- vitational Tournament in Hamilton City. The Warriors started the tournament with a loss to Gridley 25-14 and 25-15, beat Live Oak 25-14 and 25-14 before ending the day with a loss to Hamilton 25- 20 and 25-12. On Saturday, the War- riors beat Princeton 25- 13 and 25-5, and Liberty Christian 27-25 and 25-11. The team is scheduled to host Fall River at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Red Bluff drops 2 at Oak Ridge tourney The Red Bluff Spartans lost to Granite Bay 25-17 and 25-17 and Oakmont 25-22 and 25-17 Saturday at the Christine Craft Tourna- ment at Oak Ridge. The Spartans are sched- uled to travel to Central Valley for a 6:30 start to- night and play a tourna- ment in Anderson Friday and Saturday. Corning posts win, 2 losses at Hamilton tourney The Corning Cardinals beat Liberty Christian 25-22 and 25-21 and loss to Paradise 25-14 and 25- 18 Friday and dropped a match Saturday to Hamil- ton 25-13 and 26-24 at the Lady Brave Invitational Tournament in Hamilton City. The team was sched- uled to host Willows Mon- day and will travel back to Hamilton City for a 6:30 p.m. match Thursday. V'ball FROM PAGE 1 COURTESYPHOTO The Los Molinos Bulldogs took second place at the 40th Annual Fall River Emblem F Volleyball Tournament over the weekend. Hughes took care of PV's next TD, a 1-yard quarter- back keeper with 8:49 left in the half. But outside of an inter- ception thrown to Nash that set up Cameron Well- man's 27-yard field goal with 23 seconds left in the first half, the Cardinals didn't bury themselves with costly turnovers as they did last year in a 56- 14 romp to these same Vi- kings. Instead, PV led 24-7 at halftime and added single touchdowns in each of the final two quarters. "We've got to play bet- ter," Jordan Cooley said. "Run game wasn't as good as we wanted it to be. Pass game was definitely off compared to what it has been." After setting up Wil- liams' TD, the younger Cooley set up his own. On fourth-and-7 from the Corning 23, he ran a seam route and Hughes hit him for a 21-yard gain to the 2. The next play, the running back did it the more tradi- tional way, plowing into the end zone.
