Vanden at Vacaville - Varsity 2021
Sometimes it’s easy to tell how important a high school football game might be just by who shows up to watch.
Friday night’s Monticello Empire League first-place showdown between the visiting Vanden Vikings and host Vacaville Bulldogs featured a packed house — coverage from TV station Fox40 and other media outlets; and a visit by former Bulldog standout and current Atlanta Falcons second year inside linebacker Mykal Walker, who served as honorary coin tosser during pregame ceremonies.
With that as a backdrop, the Bulldogs got out to a quick start and came away with a 35-17 win — their 23rd consecutive MEL victory — to take sole possession of first place. Vacaville is now 3-0 in league play, 6-2 overall, while Vanden falls to 2-1 in the MEL, 6-2 overall.
