DHS Football: Dixon Drops Home Opener to Patterson 56-14

Marcos Pangelinan scores first points for Rams this season with a pair of touchdowns.

The Dixon High football team found ways to score this week, but was no match for Patterson, which dominated the Rams 56-14 Friday night at Finney field.

Marcos Pangelinan scored on a sweep to the left for Dixon's first touchdown in the third quarter, and connected with Bryan Hollowell for a 9-yard passing touchdown late in the fourth.

"I was happy that our offense got the ball moving," Rams' coach Wes Besseghini said. "These guys showed growth. They didn't give up, they played physical the whole time. We still had energy on the sidelines at the end of the game, and as we go into some schools a little closer to our size, they're ready to go. This was a good building block for them."
