DIVISION 4 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 2018
FINAL RANKINGS

No 1 CENTRAL VALLEY CHRISTIAN CAVALIERS (12-3) (4-1 CSL) CHAMPIONS
Last year the Cavaliers went (10-3) (3-2 CSL)
Head Coach Mason Hughes
The Cavaliers were so close at winning the division 4 section championship but lost in overtime to Golden West. This team has the makings to be better than last years team and that’s why they come in at No 1. The Cavaliers are returning 15 players from last year. The New QB will be 6’4 senior Eric Dragt who had one heck of a summer. We all know 7 vs 7 isn’t real football but Eric plays DB so that makes him tough. Dragt, played in 10 games at QB last season, 13-of-24 passes for 228 yards with 3 TD passes.. He also ran for 94 yards and three more scores. If Eric has a big year then look for the Cavaliers to be playing on Championship night Nov 23.
Junior RB Jaalen Rening, could have a monster year. He rushed for 1,396 yards and 12 TD’s last year.
Senior receiver Brian Noel will lead the way catching footballs.
The offensive line will be good and big junior Dirk Nelson who is back and will play upfront on both sides of the ball. Senior Dustin Van Grouw is one heck of a tight end.
The defense should be real good and leading the way will be senior linebacker Spencer Morris (RB) and Senior defensive end Grant Highstreet.
The X factor will be so many players playing both ways,

No 5 PORTERVILLE PANTHERS (8-3) (3-2 EYL) 
Last year the Panthers went (3-6) (1-4 EYL)
Head Coach Michael Machado
2nd year for Coach Machado and this team should be much better. The Panthers are young but with plenty of talent. Keep an eye on the Panthers!
Sophomore Hector Nava will be the QB and he is good. Senior running back Demario Ennis who should have a big year. The receivers are good with senior receivers Aaron Cruz, Jesse Hernandez and returner 6’5 Hunter Alcantar. Leading the way upfront will be juniors defensive line Charles Finley, offensive guards Larry Duran and Fernando Leon. The 3 along with returners Brandon Rose, Saul Barajas, Miguel Madrigal and Austin Crabtree, will be the cornerstones of the line.

No 6 KERMAN LIONS (7-5) (2-2 NSL) 
Last year the Lions went (10-2) (4-0 NSL CHAMPIONS)
Head Coach Stephen Hurt
How will life be after Sean Chambers? Sean was the greatest Lions player in school history and now playing in Wyoming.
The Lions return almost everybody on defense and they should be real strong. The O-line will also be real good along with the running game and wide receivers.
The running backs will be senior Colton Smith and remember the name because he is big and physical. Isaac Velez is the speed back.
The new QB with big shoes to fill will be junior Gavin Layton. The Lions will run the power spread from the shoot gun but when you have a new QB, look for Smith and Velez to carry the load.
The X factor will be Gavin at QB. This Lions team has the makings to be real good.

No 8 WASHINGTON UNION PANTHERS (5-7) (1-3 NSL) 
Head Coach Art Francis
This is Coach Francis 1st year and the Panthers are always a sleeping giant with plenty of talent. This years team has the makings to be good on both sides of the ball.

No 9 ROOSEVELT ROUGH RIDERS (8-3) (4-1 NYL CHAMPIONS)
Last year the Rough Riders went (8-4) (4-1 NYL)
Head Coach Vince Brandstetter
Coach Vince takes over and he is one of the best. It will take some time to get the program turned around on and off the field. Some players have transferred out.

The Blades last year went (3-8) (0-5 SYL)
Head Coach Chad Grider
QB Richard Lara returns for his senior year and he is good. The Blades move into a new league and they will compete for the title. The Blades will bring in toughness this year but will be young.

No 11 SELMA BEARS (4-6) (2-3 CSL)
Last year the Bears went (8-3) (3-2 CSL)
Head Coach Matt Logue
The Bears have lost plenty of stars including QB Junior Ramirez with graduation. The Bears lose senior QB Ricky Mota for the year with a broken arm. Ricky was one heck of an athlete and will be missed. The New QB is now sophomore Joey Ramirez and has the potential to be real good!
The Bears return a lot of players that played in a lot of meaningful minutes last year including the entire offensive line. The Bears will have 4 sophomores that will all carry the ball that are very talented but young along with returners Brian Ching and Patrick Angelo. Leading WR Ivan Valdez returns who looked great all summer in 7 on 7.
Defensively the Bears will be led by DE/TE Dante Guicho, NG/RT Martin Lucio, MLB Adam Rodriguez, OLB’s Brian Ching and Niko Herrera. Both corners return with Ricky Mota and Casey Gonzalez, An Athlete to watch out for is Aaron Blancas who played on the basketball team as a Freshman and will play corner and touch the ball in a variety of ways. The Bears have a great balance of returning veterans and young talent.
The X factor is the Bears will get better and better as the year goes on.

No 12 MISSION OAK HAWKS (2-9) (1-4 EYL)
Last year the Hawks went (0-10) (0-5 EYL)

Head Coach Jesse Ortega

Senior running back Elijah Rangel will lead the Titans. The QB will be sophomore Cameron Huerta.
Seniors Ruben Cervantes (LB) and Manuel Fernandez (MLB) lead the defense.

No 16 EXETER MONARCHS (2-7) (1-4 CSL)
Last year the Monarchs went (5-6) (1-4 CSL)
Head Coach Keirsten Lamb
The Monarchs have been getting after it all summer long and this is one of the hardest working Monarchs groups in a while.
Last year the Monarchs ran a Pro style offensive attack with a young team. Plenty come back and they will be much better this year.
The QB will be senior Jaykob Acosta and he’s the best athlete on the team. You talk about a sleeper QB….here is the true sleeper. The O-line is working hard and should be real good upfront.
Leading way in the backfield will be junior Nathaniel Heath and senior Chad Hilvers jr. Fullback will be senior Tyler Reser.
The big guys upfront and leading the way will be Pag Meter Watch list player junior Jordan Mueller who is 6’4, 235.
Senior (Center/DE) Mikey Gubbins never missed a snapped last year and a big time competitor.
Senior Abram Bejerano (OG) has a motor that every coach dreams about! He is full throttle on every snap. Senior Josiah Martinez (DB/WR/QB)is the ultimate team player. He will play wherever needed!
The Monarchs will have plenty of team speed on defense and they have the perfect schedule to get a high seed in the playoffs.

Monarchs schedule
Aug 17 Beat Farmersville Aztecs 49-0

Oct 19 Lost to Dinuba Emperors 43-16
Oct 26 Lost to Central Valley Christian Cavaliers 70-12

No 17 MADERA SOUTH STALLIONS (0-10) (0-5 CMAC)
Last year the Stallions went (1-9) (0-5 CMAC)
Head Coach Matt Johnson
Matt is building a football culture at Madera South. It’s much easier when you have one high school in your town. Some Madera South players have not bought in as of yet. The Stallions have so much potential and the players that have bought in are working their ass off and it’s great to see. The Stallion players are so respectful and I love that! The young Stallions (7th-9th) are very good so the future is bright.
With a new high school coming in Madera ….I PLEAD with the CIF to get Madera South out of the CMAC. It’s simple…..Move Washington Union out of the NSL and into the NYL, move Sunnyside out of the NYL and into the CMAC (where they belong) and move Madera South out of the CMAC and into the North Sequoia. It’s a no brainer and I can’t believe it hasn’t happened yet.
There is NOT one team in division 4 that would win a game in the CMAC so Madera South has to do well with the 5 non league games before it turns into a child abuse case.
The QB will now be Sr. Steven Alaniz and it’s about time because the Stallions have had ZERO QB play. Steven is Swiss Army Knife and team leader and he is needed at QB.
Sr. Matt Posas who is the best running back will come in hurt with a bad shoulder that he hurt in wrestling. He’s a Bad Ass wrestler and track sprinter.
Sr. Dallas Hansen, is 6’1″ 200, RB/Safety/LB. Big and fast, great student athlete.
Sr Emilio Gonzalez, 5’10” 205 LB/OG Steady, smart and aggressive. He has the intangibles.
The X factor is the Stallions need to stay focus during the CMAC league play because they have plenty of potential in the division 4 playoffs. This team is a work in progress…

Aug 31 Lost to Wasco Tigers 64-23

Last year the Wildcats went (2-7) (2-4 S Seq)
Head Coach George Falgout
Senior Jackson Van Roekel returns at QB and that will help the offense. Plenty return on the defensive side of the ball. The Warriors are always a physical team.

No 19 MENDOTA AZTECS (2-8) (2-3 WSL)
Last year the Aztecs went (5-5) (3-2 West Seq)
Head Coach Beto Mejia
The overachievers really need to be back in division 5. Wherever Firebaugh is, that’s where Mendota needs to be and that is division 5.
Senior Isaiah Clark will be the Aztecs QB and he has speed and can throw it.
Sophomore RB/Safety Diego Porto will be good.
The Aztecs will have FB/LB Senior Fabian Perez, sophomore LB Alex Escobar,, Junior WR/CB Adan Barajas, Juniors OL/DL Joel Anguiano 6′ 4″ 275 & Angel Gutierrez 5′ 11″ 220 will be anchoring upfront.
