Bakersfield College football prepares for a decisive postseason showdown as the Renegades travel to face host Fullerton College in the West Coast Bowl. Kicking off at 2 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon in November, the matchup pits two 6-4 teams from the National Central League of the Southern California Football Association against each other. This contest serves as a rematch of their regular-season meeting on Oct. 17 at Memorial Stadium, where the Renegades secured a 41-37 victory that ignited their current four-game winning streak.
Renegades aim to extend four-game win streak in high-stakes postseason clash
The stakes are elevated by the recent form of both squads, with Fullerton having defeated Pasadena and Cerritos after their loss to Bakersfield. BC offensive coordinator Seth Damron highlighted the significance of that earlier win, noting it acted as a catalyst for the team’s momentum. “We were able to beat a very good football team,” Damron said. “After they played us they beat Pasadena and Cerritos. When we beat Fullerton it was a catalyst to get us going.” The Renegades now enter the bowl game with confidence, having proven their ability to compete against top-tier opponents in the league.
On the field, head coach Tyler Thompson’s directive to score has yielded impressive results for the Renegades. After a slow offensive start where defense and special teams carried the load with pick-sixes and fumble returns, the offense has exploded into gear. BC is coming off four consecutive games scoring 40 or more points, outscoring opponents by a combined margin of 206-94. This offensive surge provides the young team with the firepower needed to secure a victory in this final opportunity to compete for a postseason win.
