It’s Holy Bowl week and Garces Memorial is pleased to host San Joaquin Memorial for Holy Bowl LVI.

It was a quieter than normal week for Garces Athletics leading up to tomorrow’s big day celebrating our 75th anniversary.

Cross Country

 The season and the tenure for new head coach Vondre Armour begins Saturday as the Rams open the season at the Morro Bay Invitational.

Football

 The Rams had a tough game on the coast last week in a 35-14 loss to Bishop Diego. The offense was rolling with David Smith and RJ Green combining for 220 rushing yards and Jordan Gallegoz connected with Cage Williams for a 29-yard touchdown pass. But the Cardinals run game was even more effective, scoring five times on the ground. Tomorrow night marks the first Holy Bowl at Garces since 2018 and will celebrate the 2012 Central Section championship team at halftime. Kickoff for JV is 5 p.m. and varsity set for 7:30 p.m. If you cannot make the game, the varsity game will be livestreamed free of charge. Just go to YouTube.com and search Garces Athletics.

Girls Golf

The Rams were in action on Tuesday at the Madera Tournament. The Rams finished third overall as Hailey Shaw’s 84 was good for fourth overall. The Rams host SJM at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow at Bakersfield Country Club.

Girls Tennis

 The Rams remain undefeated at 8-0 after the first day of the Cal Classic this morning in Clovis. Garces defeated El Dorado Hills-Oak Ridge 6-0 at 7 a.m. and shutout Modesto-Gregori. The Rams will play twice tomorrow. Check Garces Athletics on Twitter for more information.

Volleyball 

The Rams game on Tuesday at Porterville-Monache was canceled because of the record heat wave in the region. The Rams did play at Kingsburg on Wednesday in a 3-0 loss.

Garces will host SJM in all three levels Saturday with F/S at 11:30 a.m., JV at 12:30 p.m. and varsity set for 2 p.m.

Boys and Girls Water Polo

Both varsity programs are out of town this weekend as the boys are in the three-day SBI in Santa Barbara and the girls are in the Bay Area at the St. Francis Invitational. 

Garces FFA Fair Exhibitors

We are happy to share that Garces FFA has 29 Kern County Fair Exhibitors. Below is a meesage from them:

Dear Friends and Family of Garces,

The 2022 Kern County fair is just days aways and our Garces Memorial FFA chapter is excited to bring 29 competitive exhibitors with animals ranging from rabbits to horses. All summer long our student exhibitors gain knowledge and skills raising their Supervised Agricultural Experience projects and preparing them to compete at our county fair.

Livestock not only takes a tremendous amount of time, it also can be costly for a high school student. Some of the expenses included in these projects are the purchase of the animals, feed, supplies, tending to any medical needs the animal might have and daily care.

Our Garces family is extremely generous and without your support, our exhibitors would not have the opportunity to participate in these projects. The market animals that are available for purchase and sponsorships include beef, swine, sheep, goat, meat chickens, and turkeys along with dairy replacement heifers. All donations or sponsorships will go directly to our exhibitors' projects. Your generous consideration is immeasurable and greatly appreciated. This year, the Kern County Fair has changed the way sponsorships are submitted. If you would like a tax deduction along with your sponsorship, please visit this website and register as a buyer.

Here are the steps to follow:

We appreciate your support and investment in our future!

Prayerfully,

Garces Memorial FFA Kern County Fair Exhibitors
