I'm taking a break from crying over fantasy football (who knew a team with Philip Rivers, DeAngelo Williams, Steve Slaton and TO could be so bad?) to think back on another great high school football Friday. There was only one really big game, but I think we learned more about other teams...

UPDATED, 1:27 a.m.: It's late, so I'll save most of my thoughts for the Most Important Things post coming Sunday, but here are a few results I'm ruminating on after Week 3:
Clovis-Buchanan 56, Bakersfield 41: Obviously, you can't give up 509 passing yards — and 751 total yards —...

Here's the latest rumblings and musings from myself and Californian copy editor Todd Camps. I've got kind of a fun story coming out in the paper in the morning, on just what it's like to take a road trip for an important football game, like Bakersfield, Stockdale, Frontier and Wasco all have to...

Which of the following most efficiently sums up my feelings after my gaudy 2009 predictions record went up in flames last Friday?
(a) Oi vay!
(b) Aye carumba!
(c) C'est la vie
(d) Oh man that was so pathetic
I tend to think in English, so if you guessed (d), you're our big winner!...

Bigtime high school weeks tend to shake up the rankings, and this one was no exception. Big movers and shakers in both directions set the stage for Week 3, when it's all about a showdown at the top. I don't want to spoil my predictions coming tomorrow or anything, but what the...

As exciting as last week was, I took a big hit in my predictions. Going .500 isn't exactly the point — after all, a coin flip or a chicken pecking at one team's name or the other would go .500 over the long run, and I'd like to think I do more research than either. No, we have...

Well, at some point, I've got to quit being so surprised at what happened in Kern County football's Week 2 and start to try to make some sense of the carnage.

Umm I have BHS over Buchanan, BHS will find their mistake and fix it, besides Coach Golla will not settle for a second consecutive loss.
Liberty will pound West, while West does have a 6-8 330 pounder he is slow and won't help the Vikings in scoring.
Exeter is the best of the D-4's and will...
