    BC football's schedule for 2012 is not expected to be released until March, but there will be some changes, coach Jeff Chudy said.

    BC's conference has changed slightly, with Pasadena and Moorpark coming in and El Camino leaving.

    The more significant change is the Southern California Football Association (which BC is a part of) has combined the National and Central divisions, forming three seven-team conferences. BC is in the National Division.

    The American Division will remain the same but will add two Central Division teams, giving it two eight-team divisions.

    Four teams will qualify for the SoCal playoffs.

  4. A season-best effort by BC vs. Canyons

    There have been so many exception games by the BC football team this season. Prior to Saturday, you could point to the 41-24 win over an excellent Saddleback team or the dramatic 27-24 overtime win against Ventura.

  5. BC and playoffs: down to one game

    The wild finish to Saturday night's BC at Cerritos game, when the Falcons pulled out an amazing 27-21 win on a 97-yard return of a blocked field goal on the game's final play, means BC is in a must-win game next Saturday at home vs. Canyons in order to have any chance at earning a berth in the Southern California playoffs.

    The Renegades' 34-20 loss to Mount SAC tonight (Oct. 2) was heartbreaking to the BC fans who envisioned a perfect season. But heading into the game, I was looking for one thing: Would BC play well enough to show it belongs among the elite in SoCal and the state?

  9. Blowout win first of two key tuneups for BC

    Bakersfield College cruised to a 63-7 win tonight (Sept. 18) over Antelope Valley.
