Shamar Oliver was all smiles after.
  Mira Monte High’s premiere running back has every reason to be happy – he just ran the ball 35 times for 305 yards and scored a touchdown in the 32-29 Lions’ (1-3) victory over the visiting Kern Valley Broncs (1-3) on Friday, Sept. 20. Oliver earned the Kern High Network Player of the Game in the Game of the Week

ARVIN—Carolina Buelna has been a part of some good teams throughout her long stint as the starting setter for Arvin High School.
 
Now, after three straight 20-win seasons but limited playoff success, the senior is trying to help the Bears accomplish something great this year. That’s win a section championship.

Last week, the Golden Valley Bulldogs won their 1st game since 2017 and looked to continue with their winning ways against the Saints of Santa Maria High School Friday night. However, the Bulldogs fell short as they were met with a potent running attack from the Saints.

Bakersfield High running back Wesley Wilson glanced up at the Griffith Field scoreboard and didn’t like what he saw.
 
His Drillers were trailing Ridgeview, 17-14, late in the third quarter of the two teams’ non-league game on Friday night.
 
That’s when Wilson decided it was time for him to kick things into high gear and help get the BHS offense going.

A chip on the Foothill High Trojans’ shoulders is exactly what they needed Friday night. The Trojans (2-2) used their run game and overpowered the West High Vikings (1-2), winning 33-14. The nonconference game was played Sept. 13 at Mira Monte’s field.

The Stockdale Mustangs came into Independence High School looking to get their second win of the season and did just that by the score of 32-7.

The Mustangs came out hot on offense with two big runs from Sophomore RB Jaykob Jones that placed them in the red zone on their first drive of the game. On the fourth play of the drive, Junior QB Jack Kaiser passed to Jayden Hollis for a 19-yard Mustangs touchdown to put them on the board 7-0.

Taliyah Mosley has three positions listed next to her name on West High’s volleyball roster; outside hitter, middle blocker, and middle hitter.
 
However, against Foothill on Tuesday night, Mosley looked like she was playing a newly invented hybrid position which could best be described as, “middle of everything.”

Just three players on Golden Valley’s roster, before Friday night’s contest at South, had experienced the feeling of a varsity football win.

  The Bulldogs’ varsity football program was on a 12-game losing streak stretching back to their 2017 season finale at EBHS. Fortunately for GVHS, their team pulled off a 21-6 victory against the South High Rebels while putting an end to the dreadful streak.
