Manteca and Lutheran both saw their winning streaks come to an end last week while Edison topped Bullard in a battle for the No. 1 team in Fresno County.
Clovis West 20, Clovis East 10
The Eagles have had a tough month, but it got a whole lot better with a 20-10 over the rival Timberwolves. Beau Sweeney, who is headed to Cal next year, led a 20-point outburst in the first half. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 187 yards in the first half and finished with 219 yards in the game. Matt Jelmini also scored a first-half touchdown for the Eagles who had lost three of their last four games.
Edison 35, Bullard 0

Jerry Davis paced the Tigers by throwing for 114 yards and two touchdowns. According to the Fresno Bee, Davis has 22 touchdown passes this year and just one interception. The win kept Edison unbeaten at 7-0-1 while Bullard lost its first game of the year, falling to 7-1.
Oakdale 21, Manteca 20
The longest winning streak in the state came to an end when Manteca went for a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter and came up short against the Oakdale Mustangs. The Buffaloes had won 26 straight games prior to the 21-20 loss. Beau Fryer scored a touchdown on a 31-yard reception with 3:43 left in the fourth quarter. However, instead of kicking the tying extra point, Manteca coach Eric Reis tried a pass for the two-point conversion. The pass fell short and Oakdale ran out the clock on the powerful running of Rudy Burtschi, who scored the Mustangs' first two touchdowns of the game. Manteca's Doug Hayes threw for 176 yards while Oakdale's Devin Combs threw for 137.
Inderkum 48, River Valley 8
