Injuries were a major challenge for the Central East football team this season. A lack of depth also created problems for the Bengals. But coach Kyle Biggs never makes excuses, especially during the Central Section playoffs. The top-seeded Bengals saw their season come to an end Friday night with a 44-35 loss to No. 4 Bakersfield in a Division I-AA semifinal game at Deran Koligian Stadium. Central East trailed the Drillers for most of the game but had an opportunity to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. However, an interception sealed the victory for Bakersfield. The Drillers held a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter before the Bengals mounted a rally, cutting the deficit to 34-28. But Bakersfield maintained its composure and held on for the win. Central East will be left wondering what might have been, particularly after losing star wide receiver Bayon Harris earlier in the season. Running back Andrew Garcia also missed several games because of injury before returning later in the season. The Bengals were also without defensive back Jontae Della, who suffered an injury earlier in the season and never returned. Bakersfield will advance to face No. 2 Buchanan for the Central Section
