The Wolf Pack were dealt  an  84-56 loss at the hands of the Drillers. While losing is never fun, the Wolf Pack can&#8217;t take it too hard given the team&#8217;s big disadvantage  in MaxPreps&#8217; California basketball rankings (they are ranked 899th, while the Drillers are ranked 196th).<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:2\"> When it comes to explaining why Ridgeview lost, don&#8217;t look at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/bakersfield\/ridgeview-wolf-pack\/athletes\/ramon-leon\/?careerid=at5vhmkvbavff\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Ramon Leon<\/a>. Despite the final result, he  posted 14 points. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/bakersfield\/ridgeview-wolf-pack\/athletes\/brian-anderson\/?careerid=h15fj01tsp355\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Brian Anderson<\/a> also deserves some recognition as  he  posted his first  assist of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:3\"> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/bakersfield\/bakersfield-drillers\/athletes\/kade-johnson\/?careerid=qbopulvd4i933\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Kade Johnson<\/a> produced another solid  effort  shooting 54% from the field to rack up 19  points and four  steals for Bakersfield. Johnson is  on a roll when it comes to  shooting accuracy, as he&#8217;s  posted one of at least 46% in the last 11 games he&#8217;s  played. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/ca\/bakersfield\/bakersfield-drillers\/athletes\/keshawn-black\/?careerid=9nqa9k2ktt022\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Keshawn Black<\/a> was another key player,  putting up eight points in addition to six  assists and five  boards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\">Ridgeview has  traveled a rocky road recently, having  lost five of their last six games. That&#8217;s put a noticeable dent in their 5-16 record  this season. As for Bakersfield, they have  been performing  well recently as they&#8217;ve  won ten of their last 13 contests. That&#8217;s provided a nice bump to their 11-8 record  this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Ridgeview wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next  matchup,  a  68-49  win against Taft on the 17th. As for Bakersfield, they have also already played their next game,  a  68-61  defeat against Mayfair on the 17th.<\/p>\n<p>Article generated by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/infosentience.com\/\">infoSentience<\/a> based on data entered on MaxPreps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ridgeview lost to Bakersfield back in February of 2025 and unfortunately they wound up with the same result&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":{"0":"post-139417","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bakersfield","8":"tag-bakersfield","9":"tag-bakersfield-headlines","10":"tag-bakersfield-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
