KRL has always been a big supporter of local sports teams, and many of us here are hockey fans. Fresno is lucky to have it's own hockey team, the Fresno Monsters. We took some time to interview their Head Coach/General Manager Bryce Dale.
If you go see the Raisin' Cain Players production of Mary Poppins at the Selma Arts Center (and you should), and you are old enough to remember the movie of the same title (like me), be prepared for a great and nostalgic ride, because this is a production that has so many wonderful elements, it's hard to pick just a few to share in a review of this length.
2014 was another great year for sports fans, with plenty of highlights and heartaches to go around. First we'll take a look at the national highlights of 2014, and then the local highlights.
The Reedley College Tiger's season ending 43-38 loss at Monterey Peninsula College Saturday night was a microcosm of their season. They fell behind, rallied to take a late lead, and gave up the winning touchdown with less than a minute to play.
A loss is a loss, and Reedley College football coach Randy Whited will tell you that as well, but the takeaway truth from Saturday’s 28-24 loss to Hartnell College is that the Tigers are back - back to the level of performance and expectation we haven’t seen in several years.
They’ve teased us with their potential. They’ve frustrated us with several last minute losses. But now I can officially say - the 2014 Reedley College football team is one of the most exciting and talented squads I’ve seen in the past twenty years.
The Reedley College Tigers continued their trend of getting off to a slow start, but they pushed the accelerator pedal right before halftime and never let up, scoring the game's final 45 points, as they dominated the Cabrillo College Seahawks 45-10 Saturday night in Reedley
For the third time this season, the Reedley College football team took a late lead in a game only to give up a late touchdown and suffer a heartbreaking loss. This time the final score was 48-43, and the beneficiaries were the West Hills Falcons.
Most football coaches will tell you they don't believe in moral victories. Reedley College football Coach Randy Whited may or may not be in that particular group, but he has to be somewhat pleased with the way his team fought and fought before finally surrendering to Fresno City College 49-44 Saturday night in Fresno.
I’m not one to complain (don’t ask the editor about that, please), but Reedley College’s football team is getting a bit predictable. For the third straight week, the Tigers fell behind, and then rallied to take a late lead. The difference this last Saturday night was the Tigers snuffed out a late rally by Gavilan and won the game 44-33, to even their season record at 2-2.
