to host Hoover on Jan. 14, but the match was can- celed because of COVID issues. The girls were scheduled to return to ac- tion Jan. 19 at Roosevelt. Dinuba boys drop non-league matches
It was a strange week for the Dinuba High boys, who lost twice last week yet managed to remain unbeaten in Central Se- quoia League play.
The Emperors (5-8-2, 2-0) dropped a 6-0 non- league decision in Ba- kersfield to Garces High on Jan. 10, then fell 1-0 at home to Fresno Christian on Jan. 12 when the Ea- gles scored the lone goal
in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
Dinuba then had a home match scheduled with Central Valley Chris- tian on Jan. 14, but the match was postponed as dense fog in Visalia pre- vented the visitors from holding class instruction or participating that day in athletics or extracur- ricular activities.
The Lady Emps (6-7- 4, 3-2 CSL) got four goals from Diana Rico and one score from Krysta Casas in a 5-1 win over Fresno Christian on Jan. 12, be- fore dropping a 2-0 deci- sion the next day at Cen- tral Valley Christian.

The increased num- bers of COVID cas- es during this winter surged has prevented both counties from pro- viding timely weekend updates to the public. Tulare County wasn't able to fully update its numbers until Tuesday, making the significant jump even larger.
Last week, Fresno County was able to pro- vide an update in its 30- day incidence rates for individual communities and zip code areas in the county. The previ- ous update of incidence rates showed that many of those areas were un- der the 30-day incidence
requirements. Needless to say, the new updates changed all that.
With the exception of northwest Reedley, all re- gions of the city showed sharp rises in incident rates per 10,000 people. The steepest climb came in the Wahtoke/Navelen- cia area, which jumped from 43 to 81 per 10K as of the Jan. 16 update. Southwest Reedley was a 76, southeast Reedley at 73 and northeast Reedley at 57. The Lac Jac region west of the city climbed to 64.
Reedley's death toll also increased by four, to 91, since the pandemic began.
Sanger's incidence rates were the highest in the Mid Valley Times region of the coun- ty. Northwest Sanger climbed from 88 per 10,000 as of Jan. 12 to 144 per 10K for the Jan. 16 update. Southwest Sanger increased from
80 to 136. Northeast and southeast portions of the city also had large leaps; increasing respectively from 76 and 88 to 130 and 117 per 10,000.
Sanger's death toll in grew from 84 to 87 in the
latest statistics. Between the two cit-
ies, Parlier saw 30-day case incidence return in the northern por- tion, jumping to 75 per 10,000 from 32 to 47. The remainder of the
city increased from 32 to 47, and two additional deaths brought the city's total to 50.
Orange Cove's death toll from the pandemic continued at 20 in the latest update.
