CW, Bakersfield Pull Out Tough Ones

Going into week one the game to watch was Clovis West vs. Liberty (Bakersfield). In our polls the Golden Eagles are ranked #1 while Liberty was #2 and our rankings proved to be right. Clovis West did just enough to defeat Liberty 9-0 and they did it with defense. A shutout gives Marty Martin his first win as head coach for Clovis West. CAL-bound quarterback Beau Sweeney didn’t have his best game (4-6 for 3 yards), but then again the offense had 2 first downs in 4 quarters of play. JJ Jelmini scored the lone touchdown of the game with a 59-yard touchdown run in the 2nd quarter on a fourth-and-one. Liberty just couldn’t get their offense going and the Golden Eagles played a tremendous game defensively. Byron Campbell, star quarterback for Liberty, finished the night 8 of 25 for 103 yards. If this is any sign... of how good the Golden Eagles defense is going to be, fans better start getting ready for a trip to the Carson Center for the state championship game.
