Granite Bay and Vacaville have had quite the nonleague rivalry through the years.

The traditional Sac-Joaquin Section powers engaged in another entertaining back-and-forth affair Friday on homecoming night in Vacaville.

With Blake Peterson rushing for two Granite Bay touchdowns and the Bulldogs missing a field goal with 10 seconds to play, the No. 2 Grizzlies held on for a 21-20 victory.

Peterson’s 40-yard touchdown burst gave the Grizzlies (4-0) a 14-10 lead entering halftime, but Vacaville (2-2) went up 20-14 late in the third quarter on Ethan Houdyshell’s 6-yard touchdown run – set up by Timothy Jackson’s 90-yard interception return – and Brandon Talton’s 40-yard field goal.

Granite Bay regained the lead in the fourth on Peterson’s 6-yard touchdown run, followed by the successful PAT, with 9:30 left in the game.
