Week 11 (first round playoffs) webcast
BY ZACH EWING Californian staff writer zewing@bakersfield.com
I'm staring at a chain-link fence in the parking lot outside the Buchanan tennis complex between matches of the Division I section championship between the Bears and Stockdale.
Because of this road trip and some Election Day madness (if you think you were sick of the election, try working at a newspaper), I'm changing around the schedule a bit this week. This week's webcast with Louis Amestoy and myself, normally posted on Thursday, is below. The predictions column will post on Thursday instead of Wednesday. It should be up some time tomorrow late morning or afternoon.
Speaking of predictions, though, this is a special webcast complete with my picks for each of the Central Section's six playoff brackets. Louis tries to find fault with my selections but, surprisingly, is unable to find flaws in my logic. Just kidding. There's always a flaw in my logic, and Louis always seems to find it. So enjoy.
