Taft beat Shafter 42-7 at their place. Sadly, this wasn't unexpected. Shafter scored on a pass from Ricardo Castro to basketballer Jakob Velasquez.

More surprising was Wasco beating Tehachapi 27-21 and in dramatic fashion. "Wasco's Rene Medina stripped a Tehachapi runner and went 97 yards the other way for the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, giving the Tigers a share of the league lead with Tehachapi and Taft."

This is the first time Wasco has beaten Tehachapi since an 0-2 game in 1995, snapping a 13 game streak of Wasco losses. This has also elevated l'affaire Medina to a whole new level. Medina won the game and saved Wasco's shot at a share of the SSL title. It also raises the stakes of the Wasco-Shafter game.
