[Things can change, but that's not the current plan]

Is it just me or does it look like they're setting Donald up to take over the program?

[That sign on the scoreboard cracks me up everytime. The standard in CUSD has fallen so low lol]

Maybe in the fine print it says 13-0 vs Co-Ed Schools?  13-0 vs schools south of Kerman?

This is ridiculous on a level greater than CE baseball omitting the "D-2" from their "Valley Championship" signage.

[Coming into this year, Buchanan had three guys with 40+ varsity starts under their belt. Additionally, they had two more guys who were everyday players last season AND one more who had a handful of spot starts throughout the year. So that was about 6 guys who had real experience at the varsity level.Also, they had two other sophs last year who both started games/played in others. So now you're up to 8, but I understand that those guys weren't eating up the bulk of reps.This was far from a rebuild.They will be better next year for sure. They have to be. However, we cannot let the narrative be that this was supposed to be a big rebuilding year. Part of why the Bears took their lumps last year (despite still making the title game) is because they were trying to get all these guys experience.]

Is this a rebuilding year for Buchanan High?

[I probably worded my post wrong. I meant the TRAC schools of the world. I agree I don't want a Buchanan playing Mclane in a playoff game]

We've been down this road a million times. No one wants McLane, Roosevelt and Fresno High playing up just because they have over 3,000 students. BIGGER schools is just a silly notion. CN has half the student bodies of those schools but no one in their right mind wants CN playing in D2 and those big enrollment schools playing D1...

McLane has over 3,000 kids with about 800 eligible.

We've got to get rid of the big school small school language. It's just silly in the central valley demographic.

[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]

[You're correct.That's embarrassing for all involved who accepted invites]

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.

You're correct.

That's embarrassing for all involved who accepted invites

[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]

[Btw, I think it's worth mentioning Tyler Patrick having a huge year. Probably looking at the TRAC MVP right now.]

Btw, I think it's worth mentioning Tyler Patrick having a huge year. Probably looking at the TRAC MVP right now.

[Deep hasn't been in the lineup this week. He's been one of their best hitters of late. Now it's just a matter of if Buchanan started this thing or if it came from CN]

I've heard nothing like that.  But, if there is an investigation, it probably started after Deep walked it off or Becerra shoved ve. Buchanan, lol.  My guess, however,  is there is nothing to this rumor.....

[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]
