If the Hilmar Yellowjackets were riding high off their 49-19 takedown of the Modesto Panthers on Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. Hilmar was the victim of a rough 56-30 loss at the hands of Los Banos on Friday. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Hilmar has scored all season.
