Every week in practice Liberty coach Bryan Nixon has a list of things that he wants his team to focus on for its upcoming game.
 
Heading into the Patriots Southwest Yosemite League matchup against Garces on Friday night, Nixon stressed the importance establishing a strong running game and getting out to a good start.
Clearly that multi-faceted message got through to Liberty’s players.

Nerves did not get the best of first-year head coach Michael Stewart and his BHS Drillers.
  Despite an atypical scoreless first half and numerous penalties, the Drillers came out on top against the Centennial Golden Hawks 10-3 on Friday, Oct. 25 at Griffith Field.

A drama filled game between Golden Valley High School and West High School ends in a 21-20 comeback win for the Vikings on Friday night. 
  With less than 15 seconds to go Golden Valley (1-8, 0-4 South Yosemite League) botched a snap on a 21-yard field goal attempt to potentially put them in the lead. The Golden Valley holder was able to collect the football and tried running for the end zone but was stopped by West High (3-6,1-3 SYL) senior Journey Williams which sealed the first league win for West.

Richie Bolin stepped into the head coaching role earlier this week for the North Stars and came into Friday night with hopes of getting a homecoming win in his debut with his alma mater.

North grabbed Bolin’s first career head coaching win as well as their first win in Southeast Yosemite League play in a 35-34 overtime thriller against East Bakersfield High School.

AJ Cleveland, laser-focused, looked out at his receiver Shabazz Muhammad and the ball seemed to float to Muhammad’s gloves. The pair were a recurring theme Friday night in Highland’s 49-8 league victory.

Liberty High School snap Stockdale High School’s five-game win streak and take first place in the Southwest Yosemite League with a 38-13 victory at home on Friday night.

  Liberty (7-1, 3-0 SWYL) dominated Stockdale (5-3, 2-1 SWYL) in the first half going up 31-0 going into halftime.

There’s something vastly different about the South High volleyball team this year.

Chalk it up to team unity, a fervent work ethic, and/or something else, but whatever the reason, the Rebels have transformed from a pretender to a contender.

Independence visited Golden Valley Friday night with hopes of remaining undefeated in South Yosemite League play.
 
The Falcons’ running game and defensive front were the difference makers in their 21-6 win against the Bulldogs to push them to 2-0 in the SYL.

While the Stockdale High School football team’s overall performance against Centennial might not have been pretty, the ending was a thing of beauty as far as the Mustangs are concerned.

After muddling through the first three quarters of its Southwest Yosemite League game against the Golden Hawks, Stockdale rallied late to claim a 12-7 victory over their long-time rival.

East High School’s defense silences South High School as the Blades force five turnovers in their 28-7 victory over the Rebels at home Friday night.
