DIVISION 4 FOOTBALL SCHEDULES & RESULTS
The Blazers had visions last year of getting to the championship game but fell short in the wild loss to Chowchilla 26-24 so you just know that has been the incentive during the off season for the Blazers. FINISH!
This year GW comes in loaded on both sides of the ball. Senior QB Payton Allen returns and runs the uptempo Wing T offensive so well. Pag Meter All-Star running back senior Gonzalo Rodriguez is one of the best. Lining up in the backfield with Gonzo will be Ben Davis and Christian Ortiz
Leading the defense will be Josh Summers, Frankie Gonzales, Ruben Weldon and Christian Ortiz.

The running backs will be senior Chris Acosta, Junior Isaac Velez and Sophomore Chris Solorio. The receivers will be senior Charlie Castellanos, junior Trace Silva, sophomore Gavin Layton and senior Conner Skaggs who catches everything, TE Matt Limon, and Matthew Tamayo who transferred in from Mendota will b a big part of the passing attack.
On defense, the Lions return a healthy Colton Smith at Linebacker and welcomes the addition of sophomore Tyler Wright.The defensive backfield will be led by Junior Trace Silva, who started as a sophomore last year at Cornerback. The defensive line returns junior Grant Garewal and Andrew Cerros.

The defending champions are ready for a repeat. The Bears have one of the best quarterbacks around with senior Junior Ramirez who was the Central Sequoia League Most Valuable and Pag Meter All Star. Senior RB Chris Romero could have a big year. The Bears will be young up front but when you have a QB like Ramirez, they will grow up quickly.

11/3 vs Kingsburg Vikings 27-0
If there is a team that has the makings to be real good, it’s the Rough Rider Junior QB Jordan Delarosa who is on the Pag Meter sleeper list and this kid could be a major All Star if he can be the Rough Riders leader that they need. Keep an eye on Thunder & Lightning and running backs! Juniors Howard Maxwell (Thunder) and Isaiah Chambers (Lightning) might just be the best RB combo in the valley. The receivers are good with Josh Williams, Estaban Carillo, Neo Keo and Damon Ross.

No 14 Wasco Tigers (5-5) (4-3 S Seq)
Rick Stewart in the new Tiger’s coach but had to quit because he was diagnosed with Leukemia. The Tigers don’t have a lot of depth with this team but the starting lineup is very good. Rick brings in the Pistol Wing T offense and he is so good teaching it. Rick’s son Jon, will start at QB and has been running the pistol-wing T since the 3rd grade. The Tigers offensive line is very good and leading the way will be senior Gerado Gomez, juniors Osmo Velez, 6’4, 300lb, and Raymond Velez 6’3, 295 lb. Look for Dan Hawkins to be running behind the big guys.

No 15 Madera South Stallions (1-9) (0-5 CMAC) WILL NOT ENTER TOURNAMENT
Matt Johnson is the new head coach and the Stallions are a work in progress. Matt has to build a football culture at Madera South because they have never had one.
It’s a shame the Stallions have to play in the tough CMAC. Needs to be in the North Sequoia

The Aztecs are small and fast and the overachievers have to move into division 4 after winning the division 5 section championship. The Aztecs graduated some but still have some talent including senior Erick Segura who will line up at QB and split time with junior Isaiah Clark. Nobody plays harder than the Aztecs.
