It's about an hour and a half before kickoff and I'm getting ready to head up to Memorial Stadium. Since it rarely rains in Bakersfield, I asked Jeff Evans when the last time he'd seen rain during a BC football game.
Through 28 years at the Californian, Evans couldn't specifically remember a rainy day.
While the rain had stopped the last time I went outside, the field will be wet, but I don't think it will impact the 'Gades much.
East L.A. has lost its last eight games and if it's raining, BC will just have to keep the ball on the ground. After 288 rushing yards against L.A. Southwest, the 'Gades don't mind lining up behind the offensive line and chewing up yards and clock.

Update:
It's a nice evening here at Memorial Stadium, not nearly as damp as I thought it might be. East L.A. is wearing uniforms that look like the New York Jets, however, their nickname is the Huskies. It's about four minutes until kickoff. The 'Gades will receive.

Update:
BC's offense started the game with a steady dose of Pat Patterson, but Jacob Bower threw an interception on his first pass attempt. Dustin Bell got the ball back for the 'Gades with an interception of his own in the end zone.
Bower then made up for his mistake with a 61-yard bomb to Attrail Snipes, who blew past the coverage.
BC 7, East L.A. 0

Update:
The 'Gades just added a 21-yard field goal by Arturo Villa. Then, Bell picked off a pass for a 35-yard touchdown and now the 'Gades are firmly in control of both sides of the ball.
BC 17, East L.A. 0

Update:
The Huskies scored late in the first quarter to cut into the 'Gades' lead. Villa then tacked on his second field goal of the night on BC's first drive of the second quarter.
The 'Gades are moving the ball, but only have one offensive touchdown. East L.A. is playing a much better first half than L.A. Southwest put together last week.
BC 20, East L.A. 7

Update:
Arturo Villa is having himself quite a game. The freshman kicker is now 3-for-3 in the game with field goals of 21, 34 and 38 yards.
BC 23, East L.A. 7

Update:
Sometimes the defense wants to score touchdowns, too. Keith Thompson became the second BC defensive back to return an interception for a touchdown with a 34-yard return. The Gades offense scored its second touchdown of the game when Ben Estill dove in from 4 yards out.
BC 37, East. L.A 7

Update:
Well, BC wrapped up the first half with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Bower to Josh Little. That give the 'Gades 27 points in the second quarter. It was as if BC took it personally that East L.A. scored at all. It's officially a blowout now, and I would expect to see the backups get most of the snaps in the second half.
BC 44, East L.A. 7

Update:
The scoring has slowed in the second half. Greg Williams scored the only touchdown of the third quarter.
BC 51, East L.A. 7

Final update:
Jeremy Ramirez returned a fumble 68 yards for the final score of the game. BC's defense was impressive until the end, stopping the Huskies on the 1 on fourth down with just a few seconds left.
