High school football playoffs quarters/semis predictions: Upset in Division I-AA?

Showers are in the forecast for Friday’s Central Section high school football games in the Fresno area. Could that affect how the games play out? Who knows, but it will make for interesting football and maybe outcomes. According to McClatchy Media meteorologist Sean Macaday, he said scattered showers will begin at 7 p.m., and will taper off just after 10 p.m. Semifinal matchups are taking place in Division I-AA, Division II, and 8-Player. Top-seed Central East hosts No. 4 Bakersfield and No. 6 Clovis West visits No. 2 Buchanan at Veterans Memorial Stadium. In Division I-A, No. 5 Tulare Union faces top-seed Garces and No. 6 Sanger visit No. 2 Bakersfield Christian. The 8-player semifinals feature No. 5 Alpaugh playing No. 1 Mammoth at No. 3 Laton meeting No. 2 Immanuel Christian. Predictions: Upset brewing? Bakersfield is a dangerous team and will present challenges for Central East. The Drillers have a strong running game that they can lean on. In last week’s 35-7 victory over Clovis, four Bakersfield players combined for 337 rushing yards, led by Damir Lomax’s 17 carries for 171 yards and a touchdown. Lomax has 1,359 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. Damariae Lee has 11 rushing touchdowns.

Fresno County supervisors on Thursday afternoon approved a 300-foot-deep blast mine on the banks of the San Joaquin River.
