For those of us who thought the Sierra Valley Conference was a two-team race between No. 8 Christian Brothers and No. 13 Ponderosa, we got kicked in the teeth Friday night.
Oak Ridge, a team that lost its first four games (all nonleague), is now the league leader at 3-0 after beating the Falcons 27-14. CBS fell into a three-way tie with Ponderosa and Galt for second at 2-1, although the Bruins barely beat the Warriors, 6-3.
• Is it possible that perennial powers Del Oro at 0-2 (and 2-5 overall) in the Sierra Foothill League and Elk Grove at 0-2 in the Delta Valley Conference might miss the playoffs completely this season?
• So much for 5-0 starts. Bella Vista is now 0-2 in the Capital Athletic League and West Campus is the same in the Capital Valley Conference after going unbeaten in the nonleague season.
• Wow. Wouldn't it be fun if Granite Bay, Grant, Casa Roble, Whitney, Nevada Union, Del Campo and Folsom were in the same league. Of course they wouldn't be a combined 48-0.
