Before we get to football, I wanted to mention a couple of other sports that are getting down to the postseason. In girls tennis, after Garces and Bakersfield Christian won team section titles earlier in the week, the season ended with a showdown between sisters Lyndsay and Chelby Cooke of BCHS...

UPDATED, 12:20 a.m.: What a showdown at Stockdale and what a shocker of a week in other places around the county. As always, a complete score list is below, but it's time to get to to some major results:
Stockdale 17, Frontier 15: Stockdale won the game with a blocked-punt touchdown...

UPDATE: Apparently the first version of the podcast was derailed by my less-than-stellar technological skills. Bummer. This one works, though!

A quick note relating the World Series to Bakersfield on this, the night of Game 6: I ran into K.C. and Butch Hobson today at Stockdale while working on a story about this weekend's big football game. Butch said he's organizing Northwest and Southwest youth baseball camps in December and...

I just got back from the Central Section girls golf championships, where Frontier won the Division II section title with a 419, good enough for second overall behind Clovis West's 404. That moves the Titans to the Southern Cal regionals in a couple of weeks. So congrats to the Titans. Stockdale...

You know when a cartoon character gets his bell rung? He comes to, and for a few seconds we get to see the world from his point of view. At first, it's always blurry and wobbly, and then, suddenly, everything clears up.
Welcome to Kern County football, ladies and gentlemen. Week 9 helped...

UPDATED, 12:24 a.m.: Sorry for the lack of updates, but things get crazy when games drag on Friday night. I told you this was stressful for us scribes. But a fun game to watch at Centennial nonetheless, with North hanging on for a 49-42 victory — its first win against CHS in school history....

I think I might need to see a psychologist or something: I can't even make up my own mind. This prediction blog becomes the highlight and lowlight of my week every Wednesday.
On one level, I love doing it and love going out on a limb and taking a shot at what's going on. But at the same...

It's Election Day, and if you haven't voted, go out and do so before you read this. I don't care if you write in your own name, but you owe it to the country and to its people to make your voice heard.
OK, now that that spiel is out of the way, let's get to something decidedly undemocratic...
