Grizzlies come in losing a tough one to Farmersville 21-20 and the Bears lost to Strathmore 44-7.

The Pirates come in beating Fresno High 38-0. The defense is playing good football. RB Ryan Warkentin rushed for 225-yards, scored 2 TDs, caught 3 passes for 68 yards, and caught a TD pass. QB Jacob Rocha went 10-20 for 173-yards and 2 TDs. The Rough Riders beat McLane 28-14.
The X factor the Pirates defense is very good and goes unnoticed. The Riders have played a much tougher schedule and should be battle tested. Can the Riders defense tackle Warkentin? NO. The Pirates offense starts and ends with Warkentin. Ryan is one special player! The amazing thing is everybody in the stadium knows Warkentin is going to get the ball and you still can’t stop him. SOOOOOOO TRUE!
PAGMETER PREDICTION Reedley 35 Roosevelt 23
FINAL REEDLEY 42 ROOSEVELT 21 (Ryan Warkentin rushed for 212-yards, and scored 5 TD’s)

PAGMETER PREDICTION Orange Cove 33 Torres 20
FINAL ORANGE COVE 28 TOROS 27
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS FINALS
CENTRAL SEQUOIA
CENTRAL VALLEY CHRISTIAN CAVALIERS (6-2) (2-1) vs HANFORD WEST HUSKIES (1-7) (0-3)
The Cavaliers come in losing a defensive battle to Kingsburg 12-8. Junior Jaeden Moore made 19 tackles. The Huskies lost to Exeter 28-12.
The X factor the Caveliers will get back on track this week.
PAGMETER PREDICTION CVC 45 Hanford West 7
FINAL CVC 49 HANFORD WEST 20
EXETER MONARCHS (5-3) (2-1) at SELMA BEARS (2-4) (1-2)

The X factor which offense will finish with more points in the red zone?
PAGMETER PREDICTION Selma 27 Exeter 25
FINAL EXETER 31 SELMA 14
DINUBA EMPERORS (4-4) (1-2) at KINGSBURG VIKINGS (6-2) (3-0)
The Emperors come in beating Selma 61-14. QB Casimiro Barragan has now thrown for 1,622 yards and 15 TDs.
The Vikings beat CVC 12-8. The defense stepped up and gutted out a win after junior QB Ethan Winslow went out with an injury. Trace Jackson scored a big TD.
The X factor is the Vikings offense coming in banged up and can the defense do it again this week? Ethan Winslow has a fracture on his non-throwing arm and could be out 4-5 weeks so, stepping in at QB will be sophomore Max Warkentin who started a game during the spring and helped beat a good Selma team. Max is a Dinuba kid and going up against his friends. Priceless.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Kingsburg 23 Dinuba 20
FINAL KINGSBURG 42 DINUBA 41 OVERTIME
CMAC
SANGER APACHES (5-3) (2-1) vs BULLARD KNIGHTS (4-4) (2-1)
The Apaches come in beating Madera 35-7. The Apaches have won 4-straight games and are healthy. Leading the way is RB Ashton Rodriquez, Sam Shidan, Brady Stovall and Nikko Ortega.
The Knights loss to Memorial 24-17. Roland Russo went 12-17 for 153-yards and 2 TD passes. (Jayden Davis 38-yards & Jalyn Utendahl 1-yard)
The X factor this is always a great game and the 42nd meeting between the Apaches/Knights with the Knights leading the series 23-18. The Knights had their chances against the Panthers especially with an epic goal line stand starting the 4th quarter when the Knights were stuffed on 4 straight plays from the 1-yard line. That’s tough to get over. Bullard didn’t play to win, and they will need the offense to open up this week to win at Chukchansi.
This used to be the Armenian Bowl when Chuck Shidan was the Apaches head coach vs Don Arax, now this year it’s the Cousin Bowl with Apaches Ashton Rodriguez vs Knights Roland Russo. Roland grew up in Sanger.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Bullard 28 Sanger 24
FINAL BULLARD 42 SANGER 21
MADERA COYOTES (3-5) (1-2) vs EDISON TIGERS (2-6) (1-2)
The Coyotes come in losing to Sanger 35-7. The Tigers beat Madera South 42-0. The Tigers ran 37 plays to the Stallions 74 plays and still won big.
The X factor Coyotes outstanding QB Beau Green is back and not at 100% but he’s back and that shows me Beau has big time heart that loves to play. Beau is being recruited and has offers so every college should check this kid out. Plenty of players would shut it down. Beau is not running like before the injury so the Coyotes could be throwing quicker passes against the speedy Tigers defense that will bring pressure. The Tigers offense is getting better and leading the way is junior QB Yaj Vance.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Edison 40 Madera 28
FINAL MADERA 34 EDISON 14 (BIG WIN FOR THE COYOTES)
MEMORIAL PANTHERS (7-0) (3-0) at MADERA SOUTH STALLIONS (4-4) (0-3)
The Panthers come in beating Bullard 24-17. RB/LB Brandon Ramirez, scored 3 TD’s, made some huge plays at linebacker, and rushed for 199-yards. The Stallions lost to Edison 42-0. The score looks horrible, but the Stallions marched up and down the field with 74 plays to 37 but got stuffed close to the goal line all night long. The Stallions simply don’t match up with the size of the Panthers.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Memorial 49 Madera South 7
FINAL MEMORAL 47 MADERA SOUTH 3
EAST SEQUOIA
LINDSAY CARDINALS (2-6) (2-2) at FARMERSVILLE AZTECS (4-3) (2-2)
The Cardinals come in off a bye and the Aztecs have won 2 straight games.
The X factor is the Cardinals defense on the road.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Lindsay 33 Farmersville 21
FINAL LINDSAY 36 FARMERSVILLE 3
CORCORAN PANTHERS (6-1) (4-1) at STRATHMORE SPARTANS (8-0) (3-0)
This is for the East Sequoia league championship.
The X factor can the outstanding Panthers defense slow down the outstanding Spartans offense? The Panthers offense needs to think of this game like a tennis match and the Panthers must hold serve and score almost every time they have the ball because the Spartans don’t practice punting much.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Strathmore 33 Corcoran 20
FINAL STRATHMORE 50 CORCORAN 21
EAST YOSEMITE
MONACHE MARAUDERS (4-4) (1-2) at DELANO TIGERS (3-5) (0-3)
This has the makings to be a very good game.
The X factor it’s the very good Marauders defense vs the very good Tigers offense.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Monache 23 Delano 13
FINAL MONACHE 34 DELANO 10
TULARE UNION TRIBE (3-3) (2-0) vs Porterville Panthers (2-5) (0-2) at Granite Hills 7:30
The X factor the Tribe have won 3-straight games and rolling. The Panthers have lost 5-straight games and the offense is struggling.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Tulare Union 45 Porterville 7
FINAL TULARE UNION 50 PORTERVILLE 14
TULARE WESTERN MUSTANGS (5-3) (2-1) vs MISSION OAK HAWKS (8-0 **) (3-0 **)
This is the first of the triangle games with the 3 Tulare schools. The winner will probably play Tulare Union for the EYL Championship.
The Mustangs come in beating Porterville 35-6. Junior QB Carmine Ficher has thrown 15 TD passes.
Mission Oak beat Monache 27-26. The Hawks had a 26-0 lead, took the starters out and almost blew it. The Hawks have a new QB with Rudy Navarro who comes from Farmersville, he went 17-25 for 291-yards and 3 TD passes. Speedster Mike Iriye moves to running back, scored a TD and caught a TD.
The X factor is the Hawks defense vs the hot Mustangs offense.
Now here is the sad part of things, if the Hawks win, the new silly playoff format will move the division 4 Hawks into division 2. This system makes you reconsider winning.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Tulare Western 34 Mission Oak 30
FINAL MISSION OAK 28 TULARE WESTERN 7
HIGH DESERT
BISHOP UNION BRONCOS (6-1) (2-0) at KERN VALLEY BRONCS (3-1) (2-1)
Meet the only teams in the High Desert league that actually want to play football. The rest of the teams haven’t figured out yet that testing of healthy kids is stupid and wrong.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Bishop Union 55 Kern Valley 7
FINAL BISHOP UNION 53 KERN VALLEY 0
MOUNTAIN
ARROYO GRANDE EAGLES (5-3) (2-1) at RIGHETTI HIGH WARRIORS (1-6) (1-2)
The Eagles come in losing to St Joseph 39-21. QB Max Perrett threw for 294-yards with 2 TD passes and scored a TD. The Warriors got their first win beating Pioneer Valley 20-6.
The X factor the Eagles losing to the Knights overall wasn’t a bad thing because it will keep the Eagles in division 3. This should be a great game and a 48-minute battle.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Arroyo Grande 33 Righetti High 28
FINAL ARROYO GRANDE 39 RIGHETTI HIGH 35
PIONEER VALLEY PANTHERS (0-6) (0-3) at PASO ROBLES BEARCATS (5-2) (3-0)

FINAL PASO ROBLES 15 PIONEER VALLEY 6
NORTH SEQUOIA
CHOWCHILLA TRIBE (1-7) (1-1) at YOSEMITE BADGERS (1-4) (0-3)
The Tribe played tough in the loss to Washington Union 14-0. The Badgers lost to Kerman 40-0.
The X factor the Tribe number of players are down, but the Tribe will play hard for 48 minutes. The Badgers have been shorthanded and that is thanks to the worst administration in the state with very little Badgers practice time. With the Yosemite administration, there’s always a chance that this game could get canceled because there are too many potholes by the stadium. The Yosemite administration looks for things to cancel. If you are playing the Badgers, have your phone charged up so you can be ready to play another team. Look for the Tribe to roll in the mountains and it’s sad the Badgers have no chance.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Chowchilla 43 Yosemite 7

FINAL FRESNO HIGH 33 HOOVER 21
SUNNYSIDE WILDCATS (6-1) (3-0) at MCLANE HIGHLANDERS (4-4) (0-3)
The Wildcats come in beating Hoover 72-3. QB Tanner Wilson is the freshmen California state leader throwing for 1,994-yards and 18 TD passes. Tanner is about to shatter every school record. Senior Deashaun Bias has caught 41 passes for 628 yards and 6 TDs. Freshman CJ Jones has caught 37 passes for 483-yards and 3 TDs.
The Highlanders lost to Roosevelt 28-14

SOUTHWEST YOSEMITE
BAKERSFIELD DRILLERS (2-4) (2-1) at GARCES RAMS (4-3) (1-1)
The Drillers come in beating Stockdale 34-8. Tybo Rogers rushed for 144-yards and scored 2 TD’s. Ty Monteiro went 7-9 for 163-yards and 3 TD passes. (Daylon Leach with 2 TDs & Alex Rocha)
The Rams found out Friday that Frontier had to cancel their game. It’s completely not fair to the Rams and Frontier should have to give up a home game to Garces because of it.
The X factor if the Drillers defense can contain QB Travis Plugge, game over.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Bakersfield 33 Garces 21
FINAL GARCES 21 BAKERSFIELD 10 (Had Garces scoring 21 points if that means anything)

PAGMETER PREDICTION Centennial 27 Stockdale 14
FINAL CENTENNIAL 41 STOCKDALE 23
TRAC
BUCHANAN BEARS (7-1) (3-0) at CLOVIS COUGARS (5-3) (1-2)
The Bears come in beating Central 24-17. The defense stepped up on some big plays. QB Jayden Mandal scored the game winning TD on a beautiful 5-yard bootleg and threw a 33-yard TD pass to Travis Sirwet. Michael Runnels returned the opening kickoff for a 98-yard TD.
The Cougars beat Clovis North 42-28. Tristan Risley rushed for 161-yards and scored on a 4-yard TD. Nate Johnson threw 2 TD passes, rushed for 100-yards, and scored 2 TDs. Every team’s game plan is slow down Risley and he still goes over 150-yards almost every game.
The X factor is the defensive side of the ball. To beat Clovis, the Bears will focus on containing Risley and keeping Johnson in the pocket. Johnson is not a pocket passer and very dangerous when he gets loose. The Cougars have the offense that can beat the Bears. Will the Bears come in with a Grizzlies hangover? It’s possible. The Grizzlies played a below par game and still had a chance to tie it. Can the Cougars defense slow down the Bears steady machine? So many questions need to be answered. The Cougars have some big injuries. Cougars Head Coach Rich Hammond has been sick all week and will probably miss the game.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Buchanan 31 Clovis 24
BUCHANAN 33 CLOVIS 24
Bears, Jayden Mandal 14/26, 194-yards & 3 TD passes. Caden Rodgers, TD. receiver Josiah Ayon, 6 receptions for 84-yards. TD. Clovis, Tristan Risley 23 carries for 241-yards and 2 TDs.
CLOVIS NORTH BRONCOS (5-2) (3-0) vs CLOVIS WEST GOLDEN EAGLES (3-5) (0-2)
The Broncos come in losing to Clovis 42-28. Jake Parnigian scored 2 TDs. Milan Bryant scored a TD. Paul Sharp scored a TD and rushed for over 200 yards. The Hamm boys of Baylee and Rylee are everywhere on defense.
The Golden Eagles lost to Hanford 57-29. Sophomore QB Tyler Patrick has thrown 10 TD passes and not playing full time with the rotating QB situation.
The X factor the Broncos scored 28 points against a very good Cougars defense and the Broncos can barely throw it over hand. The Broncos running backs are so fast and are very tough to cover when they are running pass patterns out of the backfield. The Golden Eagles can throw it overhand but rotating QBs will eventually crush an offense. With the horrible locker room incident at Clovis West, it has taken its toll on the CW football team. Look for the Broncos to roll until the Golden Eagles can figure out what they want to do on offense. The good news for the Golden Eagles is they are definitely a division 2 team if the Golden Eagles enter the playoff/tournament. Clovis West might just shut it down after the Clovis game in week 11.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Clovis North 40 Clovis West 21
FINAL CLOVIS NORTH 28 CLOVIS WEST 7
WEST SEQUOIA
FOWLER REDCATS (6-2) (4-0) at PARLIER PANTHERS (0-7) (0-4)

FINAL OROSI 42 MINARETS 19
RIVERDALE COWBOYS (4-1) (3-1) at CARUTHERS BLUE RAIDERS (3-5) (3-1)
This is always a great rivalry! Both schools are not far away from each other.
The Cowboys are a solid team, and the Blue Raiders are young and coming on strong. Caruthers has played the tougher schedule.
The X factor the Cowboys are staying under the radar with giving out no information. The Boys are a hard nose physical team that plays good defense. For the Blue Crew to win at home the young guys must finish drives with points and I think they do it. My upset of the week!
PAGMETER PREDICTION (UPSET SPECIAL) Caruthers 30 Riverdale 28
FINAL CARUTHERS 28 RIVERDALE 26
WEST SIERRA
TRANQUILITY TIGERS (0-6) (0-2) at COALINGA HORNED TOADS (4-1) (0-1) 7:00
The X factor it is senior night in Coalinga and outstanding senior QB Jett Garcia is a game time decision if he plays with an injury he suffered in last week’s game.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Coalinga 28 Tranquility 0
FINAL COALINGA 26 TRANQUILITY 0
FIREBAUGH EAGLES (6-2) (1-1) at DOS PALOS BRONCOS (8-0) (3-0)
The winner is in the drivers seat to be the WSL Champions. These teams are 16 miles apart.
The Eagles come in beating Linden 56-26. RB/LB Danny Olivera rushed for 323-yards and scored 4 TDs. Olivera’s on the year has rushed for 1,549-yards which is No 2 in the state & No 11 in the country and has scored 26 TDs which is No 1 in the state and No 2 in the country.
Dos Palos beat Tranquility 35-0. QB Trent Calvert scored 2 TDs and threw a 40-yard TD pass to Will Montemurro. Miguel Paderio scored on a 10-yard TD run; Abraham Ladino scored on a 18-yard TD run.
The X factor which defense will play better against some outstanding offenses? The Eagles have played a much tougher schedule over DP. Broncos nation is not happy with the PAGMETER with putting the Broncos at No 3 in division 3. The Broncos can play with anybody, but they should not have to play in division 2. That’s not fair to a small school like Dos Palos. This has the makings to be a great game. The last time these teams played was in the spring and Firebaugh won 34-33. Broncos went for 2-points and the win and came up short.
PAGMETER PREDICTION Firebaugh 36 Dos Palos 35
FINAL DOS PALOS 24 FIREBAUGH 21

The X factor with both teams playing in one of the worst school districts in the state, the Miners are ahead of the Pioneers especially without playing spring ball.
