Going it took me to Tipton BUT.... that's because I was headed to Porterville High School. My daughter didn't think to tell me it was at Granite Hills High School. She called to inform me just as I was entering Porterville.
Coming home we took the Tulare route... MUCH better. I have been to Porterville only a handful of times in my life. No doubt it's the nearest 'big city' I've been to the least in the entire valley, to include Sacramento Valley. I did used to practice touch and go landings and takeoffs at their airport quite a bit. I can't believe how big Porterville has become. I think they're somewhat of a hub for many industries/company's?
Yes, Madera is next.... and once again they'll be VERY tough. But of course in the Semi's and Finals tough is to be expected.... especially the way they move higher division teams down into lower divisions these days.
On Pagmeters radio stream last night they had HIGH praise for Tulare Union... and mentioned that Tulare Union is returning MANY starters next year, being very young this year. They're expected to challenge for a sectional championship next year and the only question is - which Division? Some who commented on Pag's show said they could compete at an elite level. - JamesJM
