THE BUZZ

It'll be a Fresno Unified chest-thumper Friday at McLane Stadium, with No. 3 Bullard opposing No. 6 Edison in a County/Metro Athletic Conference opener and sure reference for Central Section Division I seeding Nov. 12. Knights RB Demetrius Warren and Tigers QB Khari McGee and WR Terell Green discourage the idea of pursuing the snackbar outside of halftime. Turn your back and miss an electric play. ... While Warren is averaging 197 yards a game and 10.9 yards a carry, Bullard has yet another back most section teams would beg for -- Micah Ledezma, averaging 9.5 yards a pop while delivering 455 yards rushing and seven scores. ... Final nonleague cumulative records that leap into your cereal bowl: CMAC 23-7, Tri-River Athletic Conference 15-14 and North Yosemite League 8-22. Records from the CMAC, which went 7-1 against the TRAC, also include Memorial (5-0), Madera (4-1), Sunnyside (4-1) and Sanger (2-3). And that's a Sanger program that recorded 13 consecutive winning seasons under coach Chuck Shidan before going 6-6 in 2009 and 5-6 last year. ... Unprecedented: Clovis West (0-5) and Clovis East (1-4) going a combined 1-9 in nonleague play. They've accounted for five of the past eight Central Section Division I titles. ... If Bullard vs. Edison is the section's hottest ticket seller of the week, a sure No. 2 is Dinuba vs. Coalinga. And on the marquee in this one is Emperors QB David Rico and Horned Toads RB Brian Alvarado, coming off a 311-yard rushing performance in a 38-0 punishing of Selma. ... Speaking of: Coalinga not only makes a rare D-IV vault into The Bee Top 20, but ahead of that division's defending champion, Washington, by virtue of the comparative scores two weeks after the Panthers had to rally for a 44-34 victory against Selma.
