Shafter put the finishing touches on their 4th blowout victory of the season last Friday. They took the game and then some with a 57-7 victory over Chavez. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-0.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 0-35, which was the final score in Taft's tilt against Kennedy. Taft were in a tough position by the half, with the score sitting at 0-21.
