There's no place like home for Chico, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They breezed past the Shasta Wolves to the tune of 40-10 on Friday. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by 20 points or more this season.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Chico to victory, but perhaps none more so than John Bernardez, who threw for 168 yards and three TDs while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 35 yards. Those 168 passing yards gave Bernardez a new career-high. Henry Heckathorn was Bernardez's top target, picking up 106 receiving yards and one score.

Chico pushed their record up to 7-1 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 40.0 points over those games. As for Shasta, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Chico will challenge Foothill at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers will be up against the Cougars' rather soft defense (which has allowed 28.38 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Shasta, they will face off against Red Bluff at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Spartans' defense has only allowed 12.2 points per game this season, so the Wolves' offense will have their work cut out for them.
