Falcons Ready to Dominate | Bakersfield News

Coach Paul Golla’s third year at Independence High is shaping up to be their most dominant yet—building on last season’s Division Three title game run with a roster loaded with returning talent, especially on the offensive line. After three years of relentless weight room work, the Falcons are finally looking like a team that means business. Even without key leaders Gunter Golla and Rickey Johnson, their legacy fuels this year’s squad, which is stepping up with grit and leadership. Junior QB Joseph Millan, who wisely sat behind Gunter last year, now feels like a seasoned pro ready to lead. He’ll be flanked by explosive running backs Raylan Denweed and Jakhi Ervin, plus a top-six returning receiving corps led by Brycen Gutierrez. Defensively, senior Damarious Johnson—committed to Wyoming—is confident the unit is primed to shut down opponents. With culture, cohesion, and confidence in place, the Falcons are firing on all cylinders and aiming for another big season.
