Spring football in the newly renovated Peabody Stadium brought out the best in the Santa Barbara High football team as the Dons routed visiting Hueneme 34-12 on Thursday night.
Coming off a disappointing performance in a season opening loss to Santa Ynez, Santa Barbara relied on its running game and defense to notch its first victory of the abbreviated spring season.
“For us this season is really to gear us for next season and allow our seniors to come out here and have some fun,” said Santa Barbara High coach J.T. Stone. “Really the message for us, because we have a lot of underclassmen and a lot of young kids, is to get better every week so when we come back in the fall we’ll be exactly where we’re supposed to be.”
