For the youngest attendees of the Homecoming football game, football seems to be the last thing on their minds. 

Toddler Riley McInturf, son of Davis High teacher Kelly McInturf, was far more interested in dinosaurs while attending the game. Riley is three years old or as he puts it, had “three happy birthdays.” He ran circles around his parents, imitating dinosaur roars and following unassuming bugs around with his toy truck. 

His father briefly picked him up to watch the game, interrupting his playtime. “The players are a lot bigger than me,” Riley said. 

The children of vice principal Sonam Singh were slightly more interested in the game. “I like how they’re winning,” nine-year-old Shaylen said. 

Seven-year-old Sage was still dressed in his soccer uniform. “I love sports,” he said. He currently plays soccer with the Davis Legacy Soccer Club, but he has previously participated in youth football and baseball. 

Shaylen offered more opinions about the food at the game. “The lemonade is good,” she said. “But the pizza is nothing special. I don’t like cheese pizza. I like chicken pizza.”

The Singh children, avid fans of the San Francisco 49ers, had never been to a DHS football game before. Both were quite excited about it. “We’re usually in bed by now,” Shaylen said.
