As much as I do enjoy seeing Wasco fail, I couldn't help but feel some sympathy after reading this article. Wasconians want for Wasco High what any town wants: a team for the community to be proud of and rally around. There is a lot for Shafter people to relate to in some local guys enthusiastic about building a program and getting kids to buy into that. The buzz around town has been missing from Shafter for a few years too and reading about the Wasco citizenry returning to the field brings warm memories.
I would also add that Prado and Moreno seem like class guys, especially in contrast to the Taft coach, Steve Sprague, who offered this quote after the game: "(N)o disrespect to Wasco, but I really did expect this kind of a game." None taken, I'm sure.
