http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/EvansOnSports/35213 Saturday night's 34-17 BC win over Hancock was the most impressive game of the season for the Renegades. Sure, they beat Santa Monica 60-14 on Sept. 20, but Santa Monica is awful. Hancock is OK, not great, but a lot of little things made this BC's best game. -- Only one fumble, and it was at the end of the game with the backups playing. -- Sure-tackling from the get-go. Missed or failed tackles have plagued BC all season before the Hancock game. -- Effective kicking game from the scoring perspective. Arturo Villa 2-for-2 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs. Numerous blocked kicks have been almost a weekly happening before Saturday, but Hancock never got close to Villa. BC still needs to improve its kickoff play, but that is mainly because the kickoffs aren't going deep enough. -- Avoidance of those 12- or 10-men on the field situations. Didn't happen once on Saturday. Some other highlights: -- A great punt block by Yul Hawkins, a defensive back from Centennial. Hawkins later suffered an ankle injury and was on crutches at the end of the game. But he got the block in the first quarter, which gave BC possession on the Hancock 37, which set up an eventual field goal. --Tyrone Crawford, a defensive lineman, seemed to be all over the field. He got the game's only sack and made numerous tackles, many for losses, that helped thwart Hancock's running game. Next up is Moorpark, a road game in Simi Valley next Saturday. Moorpark got smoked by Canyons on Saturday, 48-3. Canyons, which plays at BC to close the regular season in mid-November, looks like a contender for the state championship. El Camino, which beat BC in Week 3 and is undefeated, doesn't seem like as strong a team as what we've seen play BC the last couple of years. El Camino did beat Chaffey 30-15 on Saturday, --30--   Saturday night's 34-17 BC win over Hancock was the most impressive game of the season for the Renegades.
