Taft came tearing into Tuesday's game with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18.3 points) and they left with even more momentum. They came out on top against the Delano Tigers by a score of 50-38. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 61-29 back in January.
Taft had a senior duo take command as Shelby Gregory went 10-for-25 to rack up 25 points in addition to eight rebounds and four steals and Taira Leota dropped a double-double with 13 points and 13 boards. That makes it three consecutive games in which Gregory has scored at least a third of Taft's points.

Taft pushed their record up to 13-10 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.3 points over those games. As for Delano, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six matches, which has put a noticeable dent in their 6-16 record this season.
Looking ahead, a feisty cat fight will be fought as the Wildcats face off against the Cardinals at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Delano does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
