Stockdale Boys Ranked the Top Kern County Squad

Sort of odd that Stockdale takes the top spot considering how well McFarland and Ridgeview did at the Clovis Invite. Mcfarland won the small school's race and Ridgeview became the first Bakersfield squad in recent memory to break 84 minutes at Woodward. The great thing is all three will be at the Kern Championship on Halloween.
