Jerald Pierucci Delivers

Jerald Pierucci, who was a standout football and basketball player at Shafter High in the early 1990s and went on to a successful football career at UNLV, returned to the area last year to coach the East High Blades. The first year was tough, as expected. The Blades won just one game. However, after a 4OT victory over Foothill last night, Pierucci's squad is riding a three game winning streak and perfect in league. Congratulations, Jerald. We are not surprised.
