Will C. Wood to break ground on new stadium project
With spring playoffs quickly approaching, plenty of important matchups take place this week around Solano County, but perhaps nothing can quite compare to Will C. Wood’s ground breaking event on Thursday.
At 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Wood will break ground on its new stadium project, which is expected to open sometime next school year.
That piece of school history highlights another busy week in sports, especially for local tennis and swimming programs that will participate in league tournaments this week.

Nearly 400 toss their caps at Wood commencement
The Will C. Wood High School class of 2016 “left a legacy of excellence,” Principal Cliff De Graw said early in the school’s graduation ceremony on a hot Friday night in Vacaville.
He noted, looking out at some 380 seniors at Tom Zunino Stadium on the campus of Vacaville High, three secrets to success.
The first is, “Have a positive outlook on things,” said De Graw, soon to be the assistant superintendent of educational services for the Petaluma City Schools District in Petaluma.
The second is, “Find your passion and be adaptable,” and, thirdly, “Surround yourself with great people,” he said, speaking at a lectern set up on a temporary stage at midfield, with an estimated 2,000 people — families, friends, relatives — filling the bleachers and looking on as temperatures held steady in the low 90s at 7:30 p.m.

Five Will C. Wood High School girls soccer players earn first team all-MEL honors
Will C. Wood High School’s girls soccer team dominated the Monticello Empire League season.
It seems only right that the Wildcats dominated the all-MEL team.
Wood landed five players on the first unit, including most valuable offensive player Mackenzie Magaoay, and Vacaville added a pair of first-team selections during voting by league coaches Tuesday night.
Both Wood and Vacaville will open the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs Tuesday. Pairings will be announced later this week.
Wood is guaranteed a home game after winning the MEL with a 9-0-1 record, including nine straight wins to end the season.

Wood High students to stage ‘Sound of Music’
The Vaca hills will be alive with “The Sound of Music,” when Will C. Wood High students stage the Rodgers and Hammerstein chestnut this month in Vacaville.
Performances begin at 7 p.m. March 9 to 12, with a 2 p.m. March 12 matinee. All shows are at the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre, 1010 Ulatis Drive.
Director Madilyn Hawkins noted that this musical is a first for the school.
Her staging will introduce audiences to new songs original to the 1959 stage production while featuring beloved favorites from the classic 1965 film, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
Tickets, ranging from $5 to $15, are on sale at the VPAT box office, or by calling 469-4013, or online at vpat.net. A group discount — $1 off each ticket when purchasing 10 or more — is also available for the Wednesday and Thursday night performances.
“ ‘The Sound of Music’ is a fantastic show that checks all the boxes,” Hawkins said in a press release. “Classic songs, a compelling story, and some of the most charming choreography in musical theater.”

Will C. Wood High School girls basketball team edges rival Vacaville for first time in five years
Devon Lewis saved the day during one of the Will C. Wood High School girls basketball team’s roughest nights of the year.
Lewis also ruined one of Vacaville’s best nights.
Wood’s freshman point guard did a little bit … actually, a lot … of everything as the Wildcats escaped Harold Youngblood Gymnasium with a tense 41-37 victory over their crosstown rivals.
Lewis was in fourth-grade the last time the Wildcats topped the Bulldogs. In fact, Thursday night’s win came five years to the day after Wood’s last victory over Vacaville, a 56-53 overtime win on Jan. 28, 2011.
“I knew it was a long time,” Wood head coach Bob Fernandez said.
Thursday’s game nearly went to overtime as well. Vacaville had the ball trailing 39-37 with eight seconds left, but the Bulldogs fumbled away the inbounds pass.
Lewis scrambled after the loose ball, and frantically dribbled out almost all of the clock before being fouled. Her two free throws with 0.4 seconds left accounted for the final total.
“I just went after it, and then I was just trying to waste the clock,” Lewis said. “We missed a tons of shots, but we still got the win.”
Barely. The Wildcats improved to 3-2 at the midpoint of the Monticello Empire League season.
