Scores: Week 9 of the high school football season in Bakersfield, Kern County

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- Week 9 of the high school football season brought another eligibility scandal to a Bakersfield high school football program.

This week Foothill High School had to forfeit all seven of its victories during the 2026 season because of residency rules infractions involving two players. The two players were also suspended for the remainder of the season. Timothy and Jordan Nielson will sit out the Trojans' remaining games.
