Tulare Union's Demaje Riley breaks Tulare County receiving record

When former Tulare Union High football standout and Fresno State receiver Emoryie Edwards said that senior wideout Demaje Riley could do everything, he literally meant it — passing, rushing, and receiving — all in the same game. It wasn’t just coach speak by Edwards, Tulare Union’s wide receivers coach; he was simply stating facts, not just hyping up his star receiver during fall camp. Riley has backed up his coach's belief in him this season, too, doing a little bit of everything for the Tribe as a senior. The 5-foot-9, 150-pound Fresno State verbal commit has thrown touchdowns and scored as a runner and pass catcher. The four-year varsity player also starts at corner and handles the team's punting duties. "He was not exaggerating," Tulare Western offensive coordinator D.J. Bennett says now of Edwards' comments. Riley's versatility is a big reason why Tulare Union is the only Tulare County program in the Central Section Division I playoffs. The Tribe (4-6) are the fifth seed in the section's Division I-A bracket and will travel to Bakersfield to play fourth-ranked Liberty (6-4) on Friday, Nov. 6. In his final high school season, Riley has passed for 211 yards and four touchdowns, and

GLENDALE, CA – The Renegades continued to light up the scoreboard Saturday night, rolling to a 49-7 road victory over the Glendale Vaqueros in their penultimate game of the regular season. The win, BC's third straight, improves the Renegades' overall record to 5-4 and sets up an important regular-season finale at Memorial Stadium, with a potential postseason bowl appearance on the line against Canyons (2-7). Bakersfield College got on the scoreboard on its opening possession when Corey Watkins Jr. powered in from three yards out at the 10:56 mark. Glendale answered with a touchdown on its ensuing possession to tie the game, but it would be all Renegades from that point forward.

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.
