I hate to steal the thunder of my own blog post, but here's some breaking news: East High's boys basketball team just upset Garces 54-53, throwing the Southeast Yosemite League standings into further jumble. East was down by 12 points entering the fourth quarter and trailed by as many as 13 in the final eight minutes.

The biggest beneficiary of this is Bakersfield High, which beat Liberty 67-56 tonight and finds itself alone in first place at 8-2 in the SEYL.

The second-biggest benefactor is Golden Valley, which lost three league games early but has since been on a roll and is back in the race at 7-3. If the Bulldogs can sweep BHS and Garces on the road in the final week (certainly no guarantees there), they could end up as an unlikely champ.

Here's what the standings look like after tonight's games with remaining schedule below:

Team       &nb sp;       &nbs p; SEYL        Overall
Bakersfield      &n bsp; 8-2       &nbs p;     13-11
