It's a two team race in the TRAC and they have a head to head series coming up. CW with two home games and the hottest bats in the valley.

Clovis North can still get back into it.

Clovis West 11 Buchanan 3
Clovis 6 Clovis East 2
Clovis North 3 Central 3 0

5-4 CE. But they are pretty bad right?

Yep. The four errors by Clovis certainly helped out.

Central 9 Clovis North 0

I'd like to get a recap of what happened during this game.

[I believe the single season loss record at Buchanan is 14. They sit at 9-12 right now with lots of varsity experience coming into this season]

12-17 feels very much in play. Giving them all three games against Clovis East might be generous.

This isn't profound but this Buchanan team is very bad. They can't hit or field.

"We"? ...dude stop acting you are apart of these guys. All you are is some CW cheerleader that talked trash when you were sure 100% your posy was in control, but when things got uncertain...you got pretty damn quiet. IE: 2006 VC and much more. Your trash talking on the field and on the mat is the real nonsense.

You have no idea who I am. Nobody knows who you are. It's time to let go of things that happened to you 17 to 23 years ago. Your life will be better for it.

Clovis West scored six in the 6th inning on multiple walks & an error for the comeback win.

[Whatever we do for playoffs I hope that it's a system where the biggest schools in the area are always placed in D1It's so embarrassing when any Clovis school, or some of the big Bakersfield schools, willingly accept an invite to a lower division playoff.I'd put Bullard football in that category when they "won the D2 title" (lol) in 2021]

Or when Clovis East & Central baseball played against each other in the D2 championship in 2022. I believe Clovis & Clovis North were also in that bracket.

The best pastors I ever had never really talked about politics.

We really need to stop engaging with him & just let him spew his nonsense into the void.

Buchanan 11 Central 8

Clovis West 15 Clovis East 0 end of the 6th I'm going to assume they held on for the win.

my guess is that it's much like losing to The Bakersfield High Drillers at Griffith by way of a 38 yard FG as time expires.

Wasn't on that team. Wouldn't know.

Losing to De La Salle? What's that like?

Maybe you're right. I dont remember the last time Central one a series against them.
But I've been able to see a few of each TRAC team's games. And from what I've observed this year (I didn't think I'd have this opinion in August lol), I like Central more than BHS.

Also, I happened to be at that game on Tuesday and Central beat them straight up. Controlled the entire game. if it wasnt for 2 errors, the game is probably 6-2 or 6-1.

2021 Central won the series 2-1.

I mean...I hope not, obviously. I think there's enough that we won't see an immediate drop-off in football, and with some neighborhood turnover around the Bullard area (younger families moving in, including, from what I've heard, former Bullard athletes and their kids) I think we'll be OK.

FWIW, I'll throw in that softball is still up there at the top of the section annually as well (19 DI VC game, 20 had a chance to win it, 22 DII title, 23 DI VC game). Coach Maxey actually just won her 500th game as head coach, and there's some good talent in the pipeline.

Definitely. Forgot about softball too.

[At least the kids at Buchanan are "actually be held accountable now" and they are "finally having to earn starting spots" since that wasn't happening for 20 years previously]

I'm definitely not crying over Buchanan baseball losing.

This week went about how I expected. Clovis & Clovis North are clearly ahead of the rest of the league. Clovis West seems to always lose one game against Central & Clovis East when they're clearly the better team. I might be in the minority but I like the newer format of three league games in 5 days.
