Santa Barbara senior wide receiver/defensive back Kai Mault shined in a battle of unbeatens boosting the Dons to a 28-21 victory over Moorpark with a three-touchdown performance on Friday night at Peabody Stadium.
Both teams came into the matchup with 3-0 records and the product on the field did not disappoint as each side landed haymakers in a wildly entertaining slugfest.
“Kai put us on his shoulders tonight on offense and defense,” said Santa Barbara High coach Nate Mendoza of Mault, who finished with seven catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns. “That guy just shows up for big games.”
