Before I get started wrapping up Week 5, I want to point out that this weekend's running thread was a great one for several reasons, all courtesy of you guys, the readers. First off, any time we can get 10 people to comment on a football blog and join in an intelligent discussion about...

UPDATED, 12:12 a.m.: it was another night of the blowout in Kern County — and I think that might remain the case throughout a lot of the league season, with maybe a close game or two in town and the rest convincing victories. We've got a serious case of the haves and the have-nots....

Here's your Week 5 podcast, though there are again changes to what Todd and I are talking about (we often record these on Mondays). Wasco will not be playing Fresno-McLane this weekend, and I just spent a couple of hours on the phone trying to figure out exactly why. I'm still not sure, actually....

I know it's football season now, but I have to say, there's something about playoff baseball that absolutely captures my attention. These guys play 162 games in a game that's all about repitition and longevitiy and then have their entire seasons come down to one game. That said, the...

I usually close one week of high school football with some idea of how I'm going to start the next — what game I'll cover, who I'll assign to cover other games, who I like to win some of the big games and how I might arrange the teams in Tuesday's set of Central Section rankings. Things...

For those who were out and about this weekend (and first, a word of silence for my Missouri Tigers, who lost their perfect season in a Saturday night heartbreaker to Oklahoma State), there were a couple of notable games played a day later than usual.
First, Garces spoiled Highland's unbeaten...

UPDATE, 3:30 p.m. Saturday: A quick halftime update from Highland, where Garces has more or less controlled action and leads 20-7 in its makeup game with unbeaten Highland. The Rams' Jalen Sykes, just a sophomore, has been the star, rushing nine times for 101 yards and a TD, plus opening the...

Forgive me for the bad analogy at the beginning of this podcast. I wonder aloud whether it's the greatest or worst metaphor of all time, and I think I've settled on the worst. Luckily, fellow reporter Simon Samano and copy editor/Kern County football guru Todd Camps pick up my slack. Enjoy...

I can't seem to shake this feeling that this week is going by soooo slowly. I even took Monday off, and yet it feels like it should be Friday afternoon already. I almost don't have the energy to go through all of these predictions.
Nah, I take that back. I can always get up for some...

You could read these rankings ... or you could just throw all the Central Section teams in a hat and pick a few winners each week.
No, seriously, read them. And it's not like there were that many upsets last week. But when Stockdale — No. 5 in last week's rankings — can't put away...
