We’ve reached the unofficial halfway point of the prep football season, and I’m ready to hand out the Fieldies. My midseason awards usually include a free lunch and a T-shirt for the winners, but I’m saving money for a new pair of Jordans, so no dice this year.

Kayla Coles had 11 kills, four blocks and 11 digs, and Karime Raygoza added 11 kills and 10 digs to help Rancho’s girls volleyball team to a 25-16, 25-15, 17-25, 25-19 win over visiting Desert Oasis on Thursday.

Paige Smith and Andrea Busicescu each went 2-0 in singles Wednesday to help Clark’s girls tennis team to a 10-8 win at Bonanza.
