The SSL this year is composed of two perfect triangles of parity with a wide gap between them. Taft, Tehachapi and Wasco all have one loss and one win against each other and have handled the bottom three of BCHS, Shafter, and Arvin easily. Each team in the bottom triangle is also 1 and 1 against the other two. On Friday, the top three play the bottom three and are 30+ point favorites in each game.
Not that anyone in Shafter cares about SSL placing at this point, but the novelty of Shafter's situation is interesting. If Shafter beats Wasco on Friday, they will likely find themselves dropping (sort of) in the SSL standings from a tie for second into third place.
Wasco has not won an SSL title in football since 1961. Shafter has the next longest drought in the league, sharing the top spot with Taft and Tehachapi in 2000.
