The Generals go on the road tonight to face Taft. Taft is still in the hunt for the league title, though close losses to Tehachapi and BCHS mean that they need some help. Shafter is a longer shot, but is hungry for some quality league wins to show that the Wasco loss and not the BCHS win was a fluke.
Taft's team resembles Shafter's in some ways. Both are led by quick point guards who like to get into the lane in Cristian Barrios and Eric LeClair. Both also feature three point specialists as their secondary scoring threat in Adrian Trujillo and Clint Jorgensen. Shafter and Taft both run versions of former Clovis West, Fresno City, and Pepperdine coach Vance Walberg's offense against man defense. Taft is older. They get about two thirds of their scoring from seniors and 6 of their top 10 scorers are seniors. Shafter also gets the bulk of its scoring from seniors, but two of them are responsible for a very large share of it and there are more underclassmen in the mix.
