Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame

Finishing his schoolboy career at 6-5 and 230 pounds, Bake was one of the most feared defensive linemen in the Sacramento area. During his senior year at Cordova, Bake had 49 tackles and seven quarterback sacks, including five in one game – numbers that resulted in a 1 st team All Sierra Valley Conference selection. Bake later played for Texas Tech and professionally for the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Rough Riders and the NFL’s New York Giants.
