Boys Soccer upsets Arvin

In their final week in the South Sequoia League, the Warriors achieved a monumental win over Kern County power Arvin, taking a 2-0 victory over the Bears in the final week before the CIF playoffs.

Tehachapi (9-13-4; 2-8 SSL) sparred to a 0-0 deadlock with Arvin for most of the game before scoring two goals in the game's final two minutes to take the big win.

On the first goal, David Veszpeller sent a free kick toward the box on an awaiting header for Jeremy Duff, who put a brilliantly placed cross to Jose Barajas for a goal that went in through the back post.

With the Bears reeling, Cameron Gamble scored on a breakaway two minutes later to ice the victory.

Zach Satton played a masterful game at goalie, recording nine saves overall.

Last Friday, Mountain Soccer suffered a 2-0 loss to Shafter in the league finale, but still qualified for the CIF Division III playoffs starting this week.

  1. Planning down on the ranch

    The news that the Pahnamid Wind Energy project has been withdrawn from the County Planning Office is good news to most of us up here on the mountain. After spending several million dollars between the City of Tehachapi’s General Plan, the County’s Specific Plan, and the Kern Council of Government’s “Blueprint,” it would be foolish to start making zoning changes at the first opportunity.
