Tulare Western clinches outright EYL title with Bell Game win
Tulare city champs. Bell Game champs. And now, outright East Yosemite League champs. The Tulare Western High School football team completed the trifecta on Friday, Oct. 30, beating crosstown rival Tulare Union 28-17 to seal a Tulare city, Bell Game, and an absolute EYL titles at Bob Mathias Stadium. The victory wrapped up a near-perfect regular season for Tulare Western (9-1, 4-1). The Mustangs' only loss came to perennial power Hanford (7-3, 3-2) in Week 10. Tulare Western entered the 2026 campaign with outstanding success in the summer, winning 7-on-7 passing crowns at the Fresno State and Cal Poly tournaments. But outside of the team and the Tulare Western community, there weren't many people picking the Mustangs to win an EYL championship. That didn't matter, though. Why? The Mustangs wanted to show it on the field. "It was awesome," Tulare Western head coach Derek Rosa said. "I think they had so much of a stigma about them, 'OK, you guys can win 7-on-7 championships, but what about real football?' For them to kind of go out and prove that they can do it in real football is awesome. I think our league is super, super tough, and to go out

Tulare Union football's Darren Bennett plans to retire after 36 years
TULARE — It's the end of an era. Tulare Union High School head football coach Darren Bennett is planning to retire from coaching and teaching at the end of the 2026-27 school year. According to Central Section historian Bob Barnett, Bennett is the section's longest-tenured and active-winningest head coach. In 36 seasons, including a four-year stop at Central Valley Christian that began in 1991, Bennett has compiled an overall 261-136-1 coaching record. Bennett's first season at Tulare Union came in 1995. The 62nd annual Bell Game is expected to be his last rivalry showdown as a head coach. Tulare Union (4-5, 2-2) hosts Tulare Western (8-1, 3-1) on Friday, Oct. 30, with a city and East Yosemite League championship on the line at Bob Mathias Stadium. A Tribe win clinches a share of the EYL title for Bennett's squad. Tulare Union has won six straight Bell Games. "It's been great," Bennett said. "I've coached hundreds and thousands of great players, some who went to play collegiately, and in the pros. Even those who just played high school, it's been enjoyable to coach all those kids. They all make the team. It isn't just the guys who played in the NFL
