ByAndreByik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter CORNING Despite receiving a jolt of offense from its back- field, the Corning High School varsity football team couldn't tame the visiting Lassen Griz- zlies on Friday. The Grizzlies (5-2, 2-0 Northern Athletic League) en- joyed an efficient outing from quarterback Jordan Atkinson and three rushing touchdowns by Kyle Barnetche to overcome the Cardinals 39-21. For their part, the Cardi- nals kept the game competitive through the third quarter, and went to halftime tied at 14. Chance Nelson turned in an- other star performance for the Cards (4-3, 1-1 NAL), rushing for 180 yards on 15 carries and giving Corning its first lead on the night less than two min- utes into the game on a 59-yard TD run. After Lassen countered with a scoring drive late in the first quarter on a 1-yard TD run by Atkinson, Nelson preserved Corning's early 7-6 lead by blocking the Grizzlies' extra point attempt. The two NAL rivals traded scores in the second quarter; a 4-yard TD run by Lassen's Case Bennett, and a 2-yard TD run by Corning's Alex Davila, who returned to the field after suf- fering an injury early against Orland on Oct. 3. Davila was a spark for the Cards on their second-quar- ter scoring drive, and he fin- ished the game with 63 rush- ing yards on 19 carries. The Grizzlies struck first in the second half after At- kinson hooked up with Am- mon Breitenstein for 65-yards to the Corning 5, which led to a Barnetche 2-yard TD on the ground and a 20-14 Lassen ad- vantage. Atkinson finished the night 8-of-13 passing for 201 yards. Corning quarterback Wyatt Haydon was 1-of-6 passing for 22 yards. Corning's Nelson ran in a 40-yard TD — his second on the night — with about 3:57 left in the third quarter, and the Cards took a 21-20 lead to the final frame. Corning, which had an an- swer all night against Las- sen, would go scoreless in the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies put up 19 unanswered points and remained undefeated in league play. The Cards are back in ac- tion against the lowly Central Valley Falcons (0-7, 0-2 NAL) at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Shasta Lake.

PREP ROUNDUP Mercy 8-man loses to Loyalton Lady Bulldogs volleyball go 2-2 at weekend tourney By Ronald Blum The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, MO. A six-pack won't be enough for Madison Bumgarner if the San Francisco Giants win the World Series. The Giants ace chugged four beers after beating Pittsburgh in the NL wild-card game, upped the count to five following the NL Division Series clincher against Washington and six when San Francisco won the NL Champi- onship Series over St. Louis. "I don't know if I can hold any more than that," he said after earning the NLCS MVP award last week. "I had to keep it going, though. We'll see if we keep win- ning. We don't want to change anything up." Bumgarner starts the World Series opener on Tuesday night as the Giants try to become the first NL team to win three World Series titles in a five-year span since the St. Louis Cardinals of 1942-46. James Shields goes for the Royals, back in the Series for the first time since winning the 1985 title.
