Fascinating second week of the season in the SCFA Northern Conference. Big-time wins by Bakersfield and Hancock, which got past the No. 11-ranked team in NorCal, Reedley. Pasadena City, which only fell to No. 1 Mount SAC 35-30 in Week 1, rebounds by pummeling poor Compton as QB Nick Ponce takes over for Nate Montana and throws for 263 yards and four TDs. Ventura limits Antelope Valley to 107 yards of total offense in a strong win in Lancaster.

But the story has to be conference bellwether Canyons, which threw away a 14-3 halftime lead to Santa Barbara City. The Vaqueros, who visit Ventura Saturday for the annual Big Game, got 1-yard touchdown runs by RB Robyn Lawson and QB John Uribe 3:16 apart early in the fourth quarter for a shocking 17-14 win. Uribe converted a fourth and 20 before scoring the game-winning points with a 22-yard pass to Arturo Gonzalez. And Canyons twice turned the ball over inside the Santa Barbara 20-yard line in the final five minutes, on a Charles Thomas interception and then on downs.

I'll tell you what most of the coaches in the conference are thinking. "If Canyons is down this year, the conference race is wide open."

Several interesting results in the opening week of the season. Coming against Fresno, Bakersfield's win is impressive. Coming against Mount SAC, Pasadena's loss is impressive. After a strong opening night against Valley, Ventura looks like it has a tough trip to Antelope Valley, since the Marauders only fell by 10 points against Canyons.

Bakersfield piled up 351 yards rushing, including 178 yards from star running back Bruce Frieson, in its 30-0 win over Moorpark Saturday night at Griffin Stadium.

The Raiders, now 3-3, have been outscored 78-3 in consecutive weeks since its bye.

No. 5 Ventura was shocked at Cerritos, therefore No. 2 Canyons is the lone unbeaten as we shift into Northern Conference play for the first time.

Comment: Obviously, the Game of the Week in Southern California was the Canyons-Fullerton game, which featured two of the Top 4 teams in the coaches' poll. Fullerton, which fumbled on the COC 7 going in for the game-winning score, played a much better game against COC than it had the previous week against Moorpark.

"Fullerton fought for the entire 60 minutes. They just got unlucky, or we got lucky, however you want to look at it," COC head coach Garett Tujague told the Santa Clarita Signal. "Our offense had to put drives together, had to score, and they did. Our defense had to come up with stops, and they did."

Standings after Week 4

Comment: Canyons, ranked No. 3 nationally, is going to be the team to beat in the conference race, but there is not a team that should be counted out. Despite being off to its worst start since 1986, Bakersfield, so tough both recently and historically, just pushed powerful El Camino (the 2006 state and national champions) in a 3-point loss Saturday. Interesting stuff by Hancock too, which only beat Santa Barbara 14-10, but piled up more than 400 yards rushing in a 48-38 win over Citrus Saturday.

Week 5 Schedule
Bakersfield at Pasadena, 6 p.m.
Canyons at Hancock, 6 p.m.
Ventura at Glendale, 7 p.m.
Moorpark, bye

Comment: Moorpark gets to sit and rest this week, but has to visit Canyons next week.
