Reedley College has a newly appointed full-time, permanent, head football coach. Rob Hartenfels, while only recently chosen for the permanent position, has been at the helm of the Tiger’s football program for the last year. He also put in some time on staff as an assistant with the prior head coach. Additionally, Coach Hartenfels has an extensive experience in college coaching despite his relatively young age.
There’s not a lot to say, beyond the obvious, about Reedley College’s 58-7 loss to Fresno City College this past Saturday night at Radcliffe Stadium.
The Tigers were dominated in every aspect of the game; from defense and offense, to placekicking and punting. The numbers are ugly, so there’s no need to repeat them. The Tigers lost to a superior opponent.
There’s a word that describes what will be needed from the fans at Reedley College football games this season, and that word is “patience.”

The Reedley College Tigers lost a heartbreaker Saturday night, falling to Hartnell College 23-20 in Salinas.
Tiger quarterback Austen Bray threw an interception with less than a minute to play that allowed Hartnell to try a game winning field goal. The kick was wide left, but the Reedley coaches called a timeout just before the snap, so Hartnell’s kicker was able to try it again and kicked it through the uprights from 43 yards out for the win.
The Reedley College Tigers took a huge step toward playing in a post season bowl game with an exciting 34-27 win over Merced College Saturday night at Reedley High School Stadium.
The Reedley College Tigers improved their season record to 4-3 with a 42-14 win over Cabrillo College Saturday night in Aptos.
Like most people, I like consistency. It’s like the difference between opening a bag of Fritos, and opening a box of assorted chocolate candy. You know what you’re going to get with the Fritos, and you never know what you’re going to get with the box of candy (just ask Forrest Gump).
My wife (and the editor of KRL) has asked me often why I love sports so much. The great thing about a sporting event is that every one is a fresh drama – and you never know how it will turn out. The ups and downs of following a team can really be a grind, and Saturday’s football game between the Reedley College Tigers and the Fresno City College Rams is a perfect example.
