The crosstown rivalry game between the Santa Barbara Dons and Dos Pueblos Chargers took place at Peabody Stadium on a toasty Friday Night and the Dons, who are coming off a huge win against Valencia, extended their winning streak against a struggling Chargers team with a 49-0 shutout.

Santa Barbara Head Coach Nate Mendoza’s had mixed reviews on the first half. “Sloppy in the first half, lots of penalties, but I thought Laird played really well and the defense started to pick it up. Overall, a real slow and sloppy first half. I thought (Dos Pueblos) best play was a penalty for a long time, but our guys stuck with it and it was a good victory.”

The Dons pressed the pedal to the metal early. The opening drive began with a 21-yard catch and run by Senior Kai Mault, who was a force to be reckoned with all night. The Dons seamlessly drove up the field with two chunk yardage carries from Senior running back Bode Fauskee who powered his way into the endzone for the first Dons touchdown of the night. The drive spanned 1 minute and 30 seconds.
