2022 FOOTBALL PLAYOFF BRACKETS & TOP 35

Matty J and I are officially no longer doing the PAGMETER Show on Fox sports.
The powers that be tried to censure us from talking about Fresno State, good/bad/ugly.
If we are not free to be critical of things we see for our listeners, then what good is our show.
The PAGMETER show was #1 because we have the greatest audience and you the listeners love our banter, our entertaining hot topic style and of course we were never afraid to tackle the tough story that nobody else would talk about. We are just two guys talking sports, standing up for Coaches, AD’s, Players, Teams, and bringing back COMMON SENSE!
Stay tuned for great things coming very soon for the PAGMETER Show.
We would like to THANK our super team at Fox Sports and our beautiful listeners!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE PAGMETER WEBSITE THE GO TO FOR HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

THANK YOU TO THE TEAMS THAT SEND IN YOUR STATS

FOOTBALL COACHING NEWS NEWS

**RIGHETTI HIGH WARRIORS new Head Coach is Rus Pickett. Rus was the head football coach at Hoover in 2018, currently was the AD at mclane along with being an assistant coach at Fresno City College.

**MONACHE MARAUDERS new Head Coach is Aaron Berry. Berry was the Covina Colts Head Coach for one year going 7-5 and won the Sierra League. Berry played at Azusa Pacific where he was named an NCA Division 2 All-American in 2018.

FOOTHILL TROJANS New Head Coach is Mike Gregg who was the Trojans head coach from 2009-2013

**YOSEMITE BADGERS Head Coach JOSH WISNIOWSKI is stepping down and who can blame him. Until the Yosemite administration changes or wants to start supporting sports again, Yosemite will continue to be a shit show and soon might not even have a football program. We all remember when Yosemite was a GREAT football tradition and it’s amazing how one administration can crush years of history in a short time. Who the heck will want this job!! It is completely a miserable place from top to bottom. The bad news for Yosemite football is Minarets has a tremendous youth football program right down the hill and parents are very smart in today’s world and parents don’t put up with bullshit for long and will transfer out. My guess is Yosemite will hire within but whoever takes over, for the love of God, PLEASE SUPPORT HIM! It looks like AD JOHN BECK will take over as the new Head Coach. Beck is part of the administration that is the problem. AD Beck pretty much did everything possible to remove Wisniowaki so he can be the coach. Yosemite has so many issues and maybe Beck will realize how horrible the Yosemite administration is and make some changes. If not look for the Badgers soon to be 8 man football.

**STOCKDALE MUSTANGS Head Coach BRETT SHELTON will not be back in 2023. Brett graduated from Stockdale in 2004 and started coaching in 2017.

**SIERRA PACIFIC GOLDEN BEARS new Head Coach will be RYAN DESANTOS. Ryan coached over 20 years at Hanford and also coached at COS.

FARMERSVILLE AZTECS Head Coach Sean Knox will not be back in 2023

HANFORD WEST HUSKIES Head Coach Allen ALLEN PERRYMAN is leaving to be the DB Coach at Sacramento State.

PAGMETER TOP 35 FOOTBALL RANKINGS

Jalen Hankins scored on a 10 yard run & Mehki Delouth scored on a 12 yard run. O’Brien scored a TD and threw 3 TD passes, Xander Chisolm caught 2 TD passes. The Patriots are back to back Central Section Champions & now State Champions.The Defending Champions defense was huge in the win over SJM. Kresean Kizzy sparked the Patriots when he returned a punt 65 yards for a TD.

No 2 MEMORIAL PANTHERS (10-3) Lost to Liberty Patriots 29-13
BACK TO BACK CMAC CHAMPIONS
RB Brandon Ramirez rushed for 177 yards and scored 2 TDs.

No 3 CLOVIS WEST GOLDEN EAGLES (10-2) Lost to Memorial Panthers 30-20
TRAC CHAMPIONS
TRAC awards, Offensive Player of the year- Marshel Sanders, Defensive Player of the year-Tytus Khajavi, Coach of the year Eric Brown. Landon Wright and David Cummings are both 1st team.

No 4 LEMOORE TIGERS (12-2)
DIVISION 2 SECTION CHAMPIONS & WEST YOSEMITE CHAMPIONS
The Tigers beat CVC 62-46 and have won more games than any team in school history. Senior QB Ty Chambers went 9-16 for 290 yards passing and 6 TD passes. The Tigers with the most wins in school history.

No 5 BUCHANAN BEARS (9-3) Lost to Liberty Patriots 28-20
QB Jayden Mandel was voted TRAC Player of the year and the best QB in school history along with a 4.0 GPA. Jayden will graduate early and will have everything lined up to be at Fresno State to start school in the spring and play spring ball. Alec Dansby is the TRAC Lineman of the year.

No 6 CVC CAVALIERS (12-1) Lost to Lemoore Tigers 62-46
TRI-COUNTY CHAMPIONS
The Cavaliers had a fantastic year but the defense couldn’t slow down the hot Tigers. PAGMETER’s 2021 Player of the Year & Oregon Ducks commit Jaeden Moore, was ill and could not play. Junior RB Bryson Donelson rushed for 262 yards and averaged 9.3 yards per carry. He finished with 327 yards from scrimmage (262 rushing, 65 receiving)

No 7 CLOVIS NORTH BRONCOS (7-4) Lost to Buchanan Bears 37-24
The Bears had a well prepared game plan on both sides of the ball vs the Broncos. The Broncos have to do everything they can to keep Vince Branstetter at OC because if he leaves, bye bye to the physical running attack because VB did a tremendous job with the young Broncos. It’s probably the toughest place in the Central Section to be an assistant coach. The Broncos have plenty of young talent coming back and leading the way will be sophomore RB McKay Madsen, sophomore RB Jackson Cinfel, junior RB Andrew Chavez and junior QB Mario Cosmo.

No 8 CENTRAL GRIZZLIES (7-5) Lost to Memorial Panthers 28-21
The Grizzlies battled but it wasn’t enough vs SJM. Senior QB Dayton Tafoya had a fantastic career for the Grizzlies playing a TOUGH schedule. In his 2 seasons, Dayton threw for 5,488 yards and 62 TD passes. Whoever comes up from the JV or transfers in, it will be some tough shoes to fill for Dayton Tafoya at QB.

No 9 HANFORD BULLPUPS (9-4) Lost to CVC CAVALIERS 50-41
The Bullpups battled but couldn’t slow down the Cavaliers running attack. Lineman Erik Lamb scored on a 2 yard TD, Kourdey Glass scored on a 10 yard TD run, QB Cayden Muir threw 2 TD passes, (18 yards to Kourdey Glass and JC Turner 67-yards), Donavan Smith with 53 yard pick 6,

No 10 ST JOSEPH KNIGHTS (10-2) Lost to Liberty Patriots 49-13
MOUNTAIN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
The Knights started out with a beautiful opening driving TD and then the Knights had no answers vs the Patriots. The Knights had a fantastic season and were the best team on the Central Coast. Leading the Knights is outstanding senior dual-threat QB Darien Mensah, Junior RB Carter Vargas, senior WR Collin Fasse and senior OL Makai Sat.

No 11 CLOVIS COUGARS (5-7) Lost to Clovis West Golden Eagles 24-21
The Cougars came in with a tremendous game plan vs Clovis West but came up just a little short. The young Cougars were one of the best stories of 2022 and they did a wonderful job every week. Head Coach Aaron Wilkins and his staff did a masterful job with this young team and the future is bright. The Cougars have one of the best young QBs in the state with freshman Deagan Rose. Deagan threw for 2,429 yards and 26 TD passes and should be the all time leading Cougars passing king by the time he graduates.

No 12 GARCES RAMS (4-7) Lost to Clovis Cougars 21-20
This one will sting for a while blowing a 20 point lead. The Rams season was so up and down. Junior QB Jordan Gallegoz will be ready for a big senior year.

No 13 CENTENNIAL GOLDEN HAWKS (8-3) Lost to Clovis North Broncos 40-7
The G Hawks will be very good in 2023 with junior QB Adam Copus and junior WR Jaxton Santiago leading the way.

No 14 FRONTIER TITANS (8-5) Lost to Lemoore Tigers 56-21
Junior QB Malakhi Statler threw 3 TD passes but the Titans defense couldn’t slow down the red hot Tigers. Watch out for the Titans in 2023 because plenty are coming back who got tons of playing time.

No 15 KINGSBURG VIKINGS (9-2) Lost to Frontier Titans 38-35
The Vikings gave up way too many big plays in the loss to Frontier. The Vikings had a tremendous year. Leading the way was senior RB Trace Jackson who had a great Vikings career. Senior QB Ethan Winslow played lights out and will be ready for baseball season. Senior Wide receivers Conner McFall and Caleb Irigoyen will be tough to replace next year.

No 16 KENNEDY THUNDERBIRDS (11-3)
DIVISION 3 SECTION CHAMPIONS & SOUTH SEQUOIA CHAMPIONS
The Birds defense stuffed the Wildcats in winning the D 3 Championship. This has to be the best defensive unit in school history. Next up is the Division 4 AA State Championship at home.

No 17 CLOVIS EAST T WOLVES (6-5) Lost to St Joseph Knights 41-6
2023 the T Wolves should be very good with sophomore QB Ty Miller leading the way who has thrown for 2,411 yards and 25 TD passes.

No 18 REDWOOD RANGERS (8-3) Lost to Central Grizzlies 48-21
EAST YOSEMITE CHAMPIONS

No 19 BAKERSFIELD CHRISTIAN EAGLES (7-5) Lost to Hanford Bullpups 51-28
The Eagles played steady for most of the year with a very tough schedule but never put a win streak together. One of the best players in the Central Section is senior Bryson Waterman and he leaves as one of the best in school history. Some college will be getting a good one with Bryson.

No 20 SHAFTER GENERALS (11-5)
DIVISION 4 SECTION CHAMPIONS
The young General’s tremendous year continued as they won their first section championship since 1955. The “Freshman Connection” of QB Ezekiel Osborne who went 22-37 for 373 yards and 4 TD passes and Mariyon Sloan caught 10 footballs for 200 yards and 1 TD stays hot. The Generals are an amazing 4th quarter team and some day there should be a 30 for 30 show on this team.

No 21 SANGER APACHES (6-6) Lost to CVC Cavaliers 20-0
The Apaches played the Cavaliers tough but when you play the best team, you have to play flawless to win. Leading the Apaches is senior RB Jacob Gonzalez. The Apaches have won 575 career games.

No 22 EDISON TIGERS (6-5) Lost to Bakersfield Christian Eagles 22-21
The Tigers lost a tough one in overtime. The Tigers were one of the most improved teams in the 2nd half. Bakersfield Christian went for the win in overtime because they had so much respect for senior QB Ya’J Vance and the Tigers dangerous offense. Vance will leave as the Tigers all time leading passer in school history with 3,059 yards along with 27 TD passes.

No 23 SUNNYSIDE WILDCATS (11-3) Lost to Kennedy Thunderbirds 40-20
NYL CHAMPIONS

Jones (125 receptions, 1,637 yards, 17 TDs) Malachi Barnes (87 receptions, 1,275 yards, 16 TDs).

No 24 MISSION PREP ROYALS (8-4) Lost to Kennedy Thunderbirds 27-14

Leading the Panthers is senior RB Joshua Vega and on defense is junior MLB Kado Felder who has made 172 tackles and junior RB/LB Ryan Brown who made 155 tackles. Look for sophomore QB Trey Morris to take over in 2023.

No 26 PASO ROBLES BEARCATS (7-4) Lost to Sanger Apaches 21-0

No 27 LOMPOC BRAVES (7-4) Lost to Frontier Titans 49-26
