BUTTE AND GLENN COUNTIES, CA (YSBC) - Our three local area schools finished off the regular season of the 2025 season with cheers and some felt the end of their journey this season end.

Biggs and Gridley qualified for the postseason and Live Oak’s 2025 campaign came to an end. Here is how the final-regular season games turned out.

Gridley 38, Corning 19 - Gridley completed its first perfect-regular season since 2006 and took the Westside League championship outright with a 38-19 win over the Corning Cardinals.

Gridley senior quarterback Eli Punzo ran the ball 15 times for 112 yards, which led the game. Corning found the end zone twice in the first quarter and led 13-8 after the first.

From the second quarter on, it was all Bulldogs and sophomore running back Johnny Delgado made his mark on the varsity roster as he rushed for 103 yards in the victory, including his first varsity-rushing touchdown.

Defensively, Gridley hounded the Cardinals with double-digit tackles for loss the second week in a row. Bulldogs senior defensive end Jason Davis Jr. and senior linebacker Saulo Ramirez combined for five TFL’s and 15 tackles.

Punzo and junior defensive back Rafael Franco each had an interception in the win.

Hamilton 24, Biggs 0 - Biggs lost the Mid-Valley championship to Hamilton Braves in a 24-point defeat, but head coach Brian Harrison told YSBC that they accomplished half of what he wanted to complete in the game.

Hamilton’s lowest scoring total before last Friday was 33 points and Biggs was successful in that part of Harrison’s goals in the game. The Wolverines were unsuccessful to put any points on the board against the Braves, but had successful drives down the field.

Hamilton’s offense had a good flow throughout the night as they balanced their attack with rushing and passing the ball for 349 total yards on the night.

Harrison said that they were going to get back at work on Monday as they prepare to host a playoff game tonight!

Orland 49, Live Oak 7 - The Live Oak Lions capped off their 2025 season with a 42-point loss to the Orland Trojans on Nov. 7.

Orland built a sizable 21-point lead in the first quarter and played Trojans football as they ran the ball profusely.

Orland rushed the ball for nearly 400 yards and had four rushers with at least 50 yards on the ground.

Live Oak was able to put some yards together throughout the game, but the Trojans defense was too strong.

Lions senior quarterback Bradley Perigo completed seven passes for 116 yards in the air and senior running back Ian Miranda ended his Live Oak career with another 100-yard rushing game as he finished with 120.

The Lions missed out on the postseason and will be watching the four teams ahead of them in the Westside League standings compete in the postseason.
