PAGMETER DIVISION 4 FOOTBALL RANKINGS AND SCHEDULES 2019

No 1 SELMA BEARS (11-3) (4-1 CSL) DIVISION 4 SECTION CHAMPIONS
Last year (4-6) (2-3 CSL)
Head Coach Matt Logue
The Selma Bears will NOT be playing in their new stadium. That means the schedule has changed a bit for the Bears and where they are playing. Check the schedule down below.
The Bears will have a good mix of returning juniors and seniors with 7 starters coming back on both sides of the ball!
Returning at QB is junior, Joey Ramirez, who has taken the full reigns after being called up as a sophomore from the JV team in Week 3 of last year.
The running backs will be real good with Junior RB/DB Aaron Blancas, who led the Bears in all-purpose yards as a sophomore. Fast and electric this kid is! The Bears will look to pound the ball.
3-year starter is senior RB/MLB Adam Rodriguez,who returns after rushing for 900+ yards in 7 games and he will also anchor at MLB after being named 1st team Central Sequoia League All Star.
Other names to watchout for are juniors OT/DE Todd Weaver, and RB/DB, Aaron Moreno, (both returning starters), senior OL/DL, Mike Renovato, and junior OL/DL, Jon Ambrose and who are all returning 2 way starters!!
The Bears will be battle tested after playing a tough schedule and this team has the makings to be real good.
The Bears X factor is defensive of the ball.

No 2 WASHINGTON UNION PANTHERS (11-2) (4-0 NSL CHAMPIONS)
Last year (5-7) (1-3 NSL)
Head Coach Art Francis
Keep an eye on the Panthers because they have the makings to be real good. Offensively, will be led by returning senior, all purpose offensive player Darius McCray. Senior transfer WR/DB from Edison is Tory Horton and he should be an immediate impact. The entire offensive line from last year will return and will be lead by 1st team NSL All Star G Edwin Velarde. The battle for the QB spot is on with Sophomore Lawerence Stell and Junior Jayden Green. Raymond Valenzuela will run the ball for the Panthers.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Panthers return McCray at CB, sophomore ILB Keanu Kuma, junior OLB Calvin Ervin III, and senior DE Andrew Rivera.
The Panthers were young last year, and we will see how well the Panthers have matured. If they cut down on the mistakes, this team can go a long way.
The X factor is the defense

No 3 PORTERVILLE PANTHERS (8-5) (3-2 EYL)
Last year (8-3) (3-2 EYL)
Head Coach Michael Machado
14 starters return from a very good and well coached team. Leading the way will be 3-year starter (NT) Larry Duran along with (LB’s) Tristan Soliz and Issac Guzman.
Offensively:
Hector Nava returns at QB after throwing for 2,756 yards with 23 TD passes and watch out for the Panthers the next 2 years with Hector at QB. Outstanding running back Isaiah Ellis returns and he is a huge factor in the offense. The O-line Returns Damean Alcantar and Brandon Rose.
The Panthers are set for a Championship run. Last year they started out the year going 5-0, beating big teams like Dinuba, Hanford, Golden West, and Redwood.
The X factor can the Panthers do it again this year because everybody knows the Panthers are real good. They won’t be sneaking up on anybody.

No 4 KENNEDY THUNDERBIRDS (10-3) (4-2 SSL) 
Last year (12-2) (5-1 SSL) DIVISION 5 CHAMPIONS!
Head Coach Mario Millan
The defending division 5 champions graduated a ton of the Thunderbirds super team, so what happens then…the Birds move up into division 4. Why is it always a year to late?? They rushed for 352 yards a game with a huge line and outstanding running backs and most are gone so get ready for some new Thunderbird stars to step up. The Birds team is still good and so well coached.
Jose Cota finished the season as the starting QB. He led the Birds through the last part of the season and through the division 5 Championship run. Very athletic and has a strong arm. He will be very dangerous in the Wing T Option Game, and can get the ball out of his hands very quickly.
RB Ricky Solorio, sat out last season. He will be a fast strong running back that fits well in the Wing T system. Has exceptional hands out of the backfield.
RB Francisco Medina, was the 3rd cog last year and had good touches and yards.
WR Anthony Orozco, sat out last season. He is a great route runner with very good hands.
OLB Anthony Ontiveros, will be a 3-year varsity starter. Great force player and solid tackler.
Pedro Garcia, had over 100 tackles last year as the starting MLB. With a varsity year under a belt that had 15 games in it he will be very seasoned and will command the defense.
Free safety Tahj Kelly, sat out most of last season. He is a big hard hitting safety that will secure alley to alley run game and be a presence for anyone crossing the middle. He is also a player on offense as a RB/slot receiver.
ILB Ricardo Aguirre, finished last season as the starting stack backer. He brings size and speed to that position. Will be a great blitzer but is fast enough to cover running backs in routes.
Joseph Kerchner, was the starting NG most of last season. He is a big strong kid who has slimmed down and become more athletic this season. Should secure the middle of the line.
DE/OG Eddie Hernandez, is high motor kid that is a tough block off the edge and very aggressive as an OG. He will also be in his 3rd year as a varsity player.
Wing Antonio Meza ,is a speedster (similar to Yoncanni Sandoval) that will stretch defenses from sideline to sideline.
Upcoming players from JV will be DE Xavier Enciso, who is the younger brother of Tito Enciso. Kid has the same motor as Tito but is taller. The Spartans are hoping to get similar production out of him.
6 returners on Defense so it should be our strength. The Spartans picked up 3 play makers that did not play last year (Tahj Kelly, Anthony Orozco, Ricky Solorio) to fill big voids left. We have 4 all league returners in Pedro Garcia (MLB), Eddie Hernandez (DE/OG), Chris Sandoval (3 year Varsity center) and Savio Rios (ILB).
The X factor will be turnovers.

THUNDERBIRDS SCHEDULE

No 5 TEMPLETON EAGLES (10-2) (3-0 OCEAN CHAMPIONS)
Last year (3-7) (2-3 Ocean League)
New Head Coach is Don Crow
I know all about new head coach Don Crow because he was part of that Great 1977 West Vikings Valley Championship football team that spanked my Bullard Knights. The Eagles got a very good leader!
The Eagles move into division 4 after playing in division 3.
Templeton football looks to continue the high scoring offensive of the past few years.
The young players that have joined the varsity from the JV team worked hard in our zero period weight class, getting ready for their first varsity season. The combination of returners and newcomers will make a great blend for the fans to watch. One of our best attributes will be the ability to find a weakness in the defense’s we play and exploit those with the athletes we have to choose from.
On offense, there is going to be an excellent battle at QB among 2 candidates, they both bring something unique to the battle. Stay tuned to see who steps up when the pads go on. Right now Tyler Kaschewski leads in the QB race over Zack Logan.
Leading the way on offense will be Mason Barbour-TE/H Back, Marino D’Alfonso-WR,
Tyler Kaschewski-Slot Rec/QB, Arnel Osuna-OL, Caleb Richards-OL, Robbie Doty -TE, Michael Avery-RB, Josh Berna-RB, Jonah Martinus-Slot, and Aldo Viveros-Slot.
On defense, the Eagles good group of returning players that will be counted on to be that core of leaders and playmakers. As the off season weight program is running full steam ahead, the Eagles are determined to improve themselves on the defensive side of the football. With the change in coaches comes a change in defensive coordinators and a renewed excitement about playing relentless football in that part of the game. The coaches are looking to see who will step on the field and be the leaders and play makers on defense.
The defensive players to keep an eye on will be, Blayne Twisselman LB, Mason Barbour DE, Arnel Osuna DT, Chase Richards DT, Cody Blankenship LB, Michael Avery LB/DE, Jonah, Martinus DB, Robbie Doty OLB, Jacob Emanuelson DB, Sonny Mendez DE
The X factor will be the QB play and the defensive side of the ball.
This team has the makings to be real good!

No 6 CHAVEZ TITANS (9-3) (5-1 SSL CHAMPIONS)
Last year (3-7) (2-4 SSL)
Head Coach Jesse Ortega
The Titans stay in division 4 and will be much improved. With 21 returners including 5 on offense and 9 on defense, this team will be much better than last year.
On ffense, will be junior QB Cameron Huerta, junior RB Damien Espinoza, senior WR Christian Fernandez, junior WR Jaden Veloria, and junior OL Evian Garza.
On defense and the Titans will be solid across the board with senior LB Alex Medel, senior DL Ulices Arredondo, senior DE Danny Gonzalez, senior CB Edwin Lopez, and junior S Alec Estrada.
This outstanding coaching staff will be ready for tremendous game planning and game time adjustments. The Titans will play you tough for 48 minutes.
The X factor is the Offensive line. 2 returners (1 starter, 1 spot player) with experience, but could be better than last year’s O-line with JV underclassmen that came up to Varsity.

No 8 WASCO TIGERS (6-6) (2-3 SSL)
Last year (9-3) (4-2 SSL)
Head Coach Chad Martinez
The Tigers are going to be very good this year and maybe the most physical team in the Central Section. Yes the Central section! You better strap it up when you play the Tigers because they will bring it!
Leading the way with the running backs will be juniors (DB) Christian Alvarez, who rushed for 1,666 yards and scored 18 TD’s, along with Claudio Salinas who rushed for 813 yards and scored 11 TD’s. These guys are both dangerous with speed and they will run you over.
The QB returns with senior Jacob Villanveva who runs the Tigers Double Wing T to perfection and calm in the huddle. There are plenty of fiery Tigers and Villanveva is the coach on the field.
The O-line is bigger, faster and stronger than last year and leading the way will be juniors Chris Garza, Jonathan Valera, and senior Geronimo Valdivia. The big guys have been working overtime in the weight room. All these guys are also so good on the defensive line.
The Tigers defense returns 9 starters. Leading the way at linebacker will be junior Kevin Chavez and at DB with sophomore Andre Cordova.
This Tigers team is more athletic, bigger and of course stronger than last year. The schedule is set for a possible 10-0 run.
The Tigers X factor can they stay healthy with so many playing both ways?

No 10 KERMAN LIONS (4-7) (2-2 NSL)
Last year (7-5) (2-2 NSL)
Head Coach Stephen Hurt
The Lions will field a young team, but this summer they have shown that age doesn’t matter. They are working hard on & off the field & are dedicated to the process. This is a group of hungry, competitive men. The Lions return key starters with,
Gavin Layton (Sr. QB) 1,873 pass yards 19 TD’s.
Tyler Wright (Sr. LB) 129 total tackles.
Brandon Velasquez (Jr. DL/OL) 85 total tackles 8 sacks.
Jacob Aviles (Jr. WR/DB).
Chris Solorio (Sr. LB/RB).
Joaquin Gonzales (Sr. DB/WR).
Some of the young lions players to watch out for will be Eli Quinonez (So. WR), Bryan Valadez (So. OLB), and Matthew Gonzales (Jr. RB/DB).
The Lions X factor will be the offensive line because it will be pretty much all new.

LIONS SCHEDULE

No 11 CHOWCHILLA TRIBE (3-7) (0-4 NSL) Will not Enter Tournament
Last year (7-4) (3-1 NSL)
Head Coach Alex Pittz
The Tribe moves from division 3 and now is back in division 4 where they belong.
The old Redskins are always a physical team and will do what they do best and that’s outwork their opponent. Many spots are wide open so we will see when they strap it up.
The Tribe has a battle right now for the QB job between Tony Woolsey (JR) and Darien Lopez (SR). Both are doing a good job this summer so stay tuned on how it plays out when the pads go on. Running back is still up in the air since Jordan Hornbeak transferred to Memorial. Right now it looks like Jason Pope (JR), Bobby Faddis (SR) & Emanuel Ochoa (JR) will all share the carries. The O-line should be a strength for the Tribe, led by Damien Rodriguez (SR).
Returners Jaylinn Gaines (SR), Alex Escoto (SR) and Rodriguez should all provide leadership and stability for the Tribe on defense.
The Tribe X factor is the QB play and the D-line.

TRIBE SCHEDULE
Aug 23 Beat Fresno High Warriors 27-12
Aug 30 Lost to Lemoore Tigers 26-16

No 12 SANTA MARIA SAINTS (5-6) (1-2 OCEAN)
Last year (3-8) (1-4 Ocean league)
Head Coach Dan Ellington
I love a coach who loves his kids, brings his passion to every practice and that’s Coach Dan Ellington. Football is a tough sport but it has to be fun. Coach is very proud of the football program in Santa Maria.
The Saints bring back their starting QB Dominic Martinez, and a team is always much more dangerous when you have an experience QB in the huddle. RB Sammy Herrera, also is returning from last year.
The O-line basically all returns so are you seeing a pattern in Santa Maria! The offense will be good.
Last year the Saints were extremely young with 14 Sophomores and most got plenty of snaps. The off season and effort has been fantastic along with the team unity. Weight room has been busy.
Matt Andree, who was the Offensive Coordinator 2 years ago is back calling the plays. Defensively should be a much improved team. The Saints expectations are high and although are still pretty young, most of the players on the team already have a year of Varsity experience. Last year the Saints went 3-8, which isn’t what they expected but this years team is hungry.
The Saints X factor is the defense because the offense is good.

SAINTS SCHEDULE
Aug 23 Lost to Righetti High Warriors 42-7

No 13 ROOSEVELT ROUGH RIDERS (4-7) (3-2 NYL)
Last year (8-3) (4-1 NYL CHAMPIONS)
Head Coach Vince Brandstetter
The defending NYL Champions graduated a ton and this team will get better and better each week. The Riders will be big and physical up front, look for the Rough Riders to bring the power running game.
The Riders will be young everywhere and this will be the time the Rough Riders build the program from the ground up. The Riders are looking for the young players to step up, especially on defense. When the pads go on we will know who the studs are. Gerardo Sifuentes will anchor in the middle. Prince Mbodo had a tremendous summer and is returning on the D-Line. Look for Joe Theus to emerge as the starting QB. he is long and athletic. Very in experiences but has big potential. Daijon Giddens will carry the rock who rushed for 500 yards in league last year.
Some newcomers to keep an eye on will be Isaiah Romo, Dwayne Robinson , Joseph Perez, Andrew Lopez , and Jose Hernandez.
The Riders X factor they are on the road for week 1, week 2 and then 8 straight games at Sunnyside Stadium. This team is a year away from being the NYL favorites, but the schedule is set for a nice record.

No 14 MONACHE MARAUDERS (2-8) (1-4 EYL) Will not enter Tournament 
Last year (6-5) (2-3 EYL)
NEW Head Coach is Shane Focke
The Marauders return plenty from last year and new head coach Focke will get the young guys ready to battle. Shane graduated from Monache so he will be fired up to coach the Marauders.
On offense the Marauders will have, RB Aidan Galvan (averaged 143 yards rushing per game 2018 season), RB/DB Tray Von Bradford, OT/DT Taven “Twinkie” Avila, OT/DE Rigo Tapia, G Alexess Hernandez, WR/DB Kaori “KK” Sims and WR/DB Marcus Salazar.
On defense, leading the way will be DL Jackson Tuese, DL Esgar Madrigal, LB Hunter Weimer,LB Sal Garcia, And CB Julian Rowe.
The QB will be 6’3″ 180 lb junior Sullivan Focke who is chomping at the bit to see the field after serving as backup behind senior QB Antonio Andrade last year.
The preseason schedule has 3 possible D4 playoff opponents and 2, D3 teams. Monache will be tested right out of the gate and has the talent to compete.
The X factor is the Marauders have to play physical and downhill football. Expect to see a well-disciplined, exciting, and smart football team.

No 15 HOOVER PATRIOTS (4-7) (2-3 NYL)
Last year (3-8) (3-2 NYL)
Head Coach Rus Pickett
Coach Rus is building a culture at Hoover. It’s been a solid 1st true (Jan – Aug) offseason for Rus and his staff and it takes time. There are some other position competitions heading into Camp. Last year the Patriots were in division 3 and now move into division 4.
