Crosstown rivals Santa Barbara and Dos Pueblos met under a Friday night drizzle at Peabody Stadium, with the Dons lighting up the scoreboard consistently all night in a 49-0 shutout over the Chargers.
Coming into the game, second-year Dos Pueblos head coach AJ Pateras said the Chargers’ defense had to make the high-powered Santa Barbara offense work for every score. The Dons were fresh off a 55-0 win over Channel Islands, while Dos Pueblos was trying to avoid a second rivalry loss in a row after losing to San Marcos 34-14 last week.
“We gotta limit the big plays, we gotta make them earn it,” Pateras said before the game.
