Bishop Union High School juniors and seniors are going to get the red carpet treatment next weekend as they arrive to prom dressed to the nines.
Parents, teachers and school administrators are invited to take a half hour before prom this Saturday to serve as the âpaparazziâ and provide the memories of camera flashes to go with the glitz and glamor of the night.
Those who arrive will have an opportunity to take red carpet pictures of students and even ask a couple âHollywood Premierâ style questions like âWhat are you going to do now?â before the students hit the dance floor.

That the Bishop Broncos baseball team beat the Desert Scorpions Friday afternoon at Edwards Air Force Base is not much of a surprise. That they beat them 20-1 is significant. The resurrection of the Broncosâ bats at home against Rosamond last Tuesday was no fluke. The Bishop bats are back.
And, theyâll get another good workout at California City this afternoon before hosting the two High Desert League teams that handed Bishop back-to-back road losses two weeks ago.
The Bishop Lady Broncos softball team came back from its loss to the undefeated Rosamond Roadrunners, demolishing the Desert Scorpions on the road, 14-4, Friday.
âThe girls did well under hot conditions and varying field positions,â said coach Stacy Van Nest. âWe still continue to work hard to diminish defensive errors.â
The Broncos travel to Cal City this afternoon, then host Frazier Mountain, Friday, and Kern Valley, Tuesday. Bishop is 5-1 in High Desert League, 11-7 overall.

The Bishop Broncos JV baseball and Lady Broncos softball squads demolished the Desert Scorpions Friday with 11-7 and 2-0 wins, respectively.
âWeâre on the right track for another perfect High Desert League record,â said baseball coach Chris Walston. âWeâve got a week until we play Frazier at home Friday which will allow us to get all the kinks out.â
Daniel Olsen, Zack De Leo and Alex Armitage all got their chance on the mound. âAll three threw well, especially with the plate umpireâs low strike zone,â Walston said. âThey all adapted well.â
