Oakdale 56, Sierra 16: The Mustangs scored 14 points in each quarter of Friday’s dominant Valley Oak League home opener. All eight touchdowns came on the ground. With the win, Oakdale extended its win streak to four games and will look ahead to East Union next week before finishing the season with Central Catholic, Kimball and Manteca.
Lathrop 34, Beyer 0: The Patriots played Lathrop even in the first quarter, keeping the Spartans scoreless through the opening 12 minutes.
