Ennis The Menance: PHS QB accounts for six TDs to lead PHS past MHS in Granite Bowl

The rock has gotten awfully comfortable living on the campus of Porterville High School for the better part of 8 years now. Monache was hoping to force a relocation this year and a change of address for the holidays. However the rock will not be stressed out with an end of the year move as despite a “rocky” start, Mike Ennis would power PHS with a six touchdown performance in this year's Granite Bowl, leading the Panthers to a 43-14 victory Friday night from Rankin Stadium. The victory gave PHS the West Yosemite League Title, breaking a drought of 10 years without a league title. The victory also pulls the Panthers a little closer to tying up the all-time granite bowl record, as Monache now leads 31-26-1.

McFarland Early College Launch Oct 29, 2026

For the past two weeks, we have had some flooring and painting work going on at home. Which meant that for two weeks, my house was no longer quite my home. There were workers coming and going, tools everywhere, furniture moved out of place, music playing loudly, and conversations happening at a volume that suggested everyone needed to be heard over everyone else. At times, I wondered whether we were renovating the house or hosting a music festival…. I found myself actually enjoying the whole production.

University Prep senior earns Character Counts! Citizenship award

While many high school students focus on academics and extracurricular activities, University Preparatory High School senior Adrian Mota has dedicated years to serving others, earning this year's Character Counts! Week Citizenship Award for his volunteer work across Tulare County. “He has volunteered for years at health fairs, backpack distributions, holiday Posadas, family outreach events, in migrant health care, helping children, seniors, expectant mothers, agricultural workers, and families in need,” nominator Graciela Soto Perez said. Adrian also participates in Community Engagement Initiative (CEl) meetings across California, where he represents University Preparatory High School and the community. At CEI meetings students learn how to strengthen family and community involvement and connection with their school. Adrian consistently gives his time, energy, and compassion to serve others and make his community stronger without seeking recognition, according to Soto Perez. “I am humbled, and thankful to receive the Citizenship award. To me, being a good citizen means helping others and doing what you can to make your community a better place,” Adrian said. “I thank God, my family, my mentors, and my amazing teachers for guiding me to work hard at serving my community, thank you again.” This article originally appeared on Visalia Times-Delta: University
