Coming off a two-point upset victory the prior week, Hilmar’s varsity football team carried that momentum into their week three home matchup with Gustine, last year’s Southern Athletic League runner-ups. Although it wasn’t the prettiest game for either side, the Yellowjackets were able to take control from the onset as they dominated the game in the first half, gaining 375 yards of total offense en route to a 39-14 final. “There is always room for improvement,” said Hilmar senior Joey Pereira.
