Can two rivals root for each other? If Bakersfield wants to sweep the Division I baseball and softball Central Section championships, folks at Stockdale and Centennial will have to. A day after the Mustangs baseball team held off Clovis West 5-3 in a D-I Valley semifinal, Centennial stymied...

It's been an eternity since my last post here — if you hadn't noticed, we had a pretty big throwing story we ran this week, and we wrapped up section track finals. Anyway, my apologies. I promise to make up for it with a nice, long, involved playoff glance here.
Let's start in baseball....

Kern County is well represented in D-III, but I don't know how far any of the teams will go. South, which reached the championship game last year before falling to Dinuba, is the highest-seeded K.C. team at No. 5. The Rebels host...

I guess I'm carrying some kind of jinx (or is it a blessing?) with me to the pitch this week. Last week, I saw East extend itself before beating Hanford minutes shy of double overtime in the Division II boys soccer playoffs.
Then, Tuesday night, West scored in the final minute of...

I could probably use the same story line for all three winter sports this week, basketball, soccer and wrestling: Coaches (and the wiser players) have been saying all season that what happens in the regular season doesn't matter — it's just about getting a good seed in the Valley, or in the...
