There were not many that truly believed tonight. But these boys and coaches BELIEVED. What a great program win. Now it's time for some Tiger Meat.

We were 1-4 and I told the boys if they won out, I would shave my head. Well....we are 6-4....today I pay that debt. Special thanks to Rocky Eacobedo (Class of 98) from Southside Bardershop in Bakersfield, for coming out.
Not the way we wanted it to end. But I'm proud of the way we battled and what we accomplished this season. Thank you Shafter for always showing up for us.

General Nation, we have a meeting setup w/CIF & the head official tomorrow & ask for your prayer that people do the right thing. W/that said, please refrain from harassment or confrontation w/the officials through text, post & calls, & allow us to rectify this tomorrow.
First, thank you Shafter for coming out & supporting our young men. Second, too our seniors thank you for setting the bar,It's no longer an expectation of 3-7, 2-8.The expectation is to win & that is because of you.Thank you too the assistant coaches for teaching kids about life
WE know this is a day late, but this Gif needed to be made. Happy belated birthday to our biggest fan and one of my best friends. Ponch we hope your day was great.

We are so super excited for our trainer Ponch and His wife Cynthia, who welcomed their baby girl Kaeli Rose into the world early this morning. The General Nation has another Marquez to ring a cowbell and throw confetti. Congratulations, we love you both!!!
We thought we would be the first to show off the new scoreboard for the New Stadium. The video board is 9.6x24 feet it will have instant replay from multiple cameras from around the stadium, along with graphics, a separate scoreboard & integrated sound, all ran by our students.
A team that breaks bread together, wins together. Special thanks to
@deanflorez

It's taken a night of thinking & a sleepless night to think about the end of the season. This team has gone through more ups & down, twists & turns and reasons to quit. But they didnt, to turn it all around from 1-4 to a respectful 6-5, when everyone counted them out from the
Absolutly ecstatic for
@Jacksontsanchez
for being the recipient of the Young Person Award from the Shafter Chamber of Commerce. Jackson not only embodies what Shafter is about but is really one of the many great students we have at shafter high. Great job Jackson.
Tonight we walked in the Christmas Parade at Shafter. What a fun time for our guys. Big shout out to Generals Headquarters for feeding the guys before we walked. Our community gives so much. We are so blessed.

What a great trip to go and watch Isaac play football. Although we are all sad that we (Shafter) aren't playing. We can all be happy that our "retired" Generals are still doing good things and chasing dreams.
We had so much to celebrate this year. The Generals had all four of the league MVP's for the SSL. Congrats Men! They also are 1st team reciepients. Tomorrow we will post the 1st and 2nd team winners.

We were honored to be at the honor flight reception to give a huge warm welcome to our veterans as they returned from their trip. Seeing our kids shake hands and say thank you to these heroes was heart warming and such a cool moment.
We are starting this week off with posting awards our Student/Athletes recieved from the SSL All-League voting. First is our second team award winners. Congrats guys
Special thanks to
@maleekdiaz
for making these for us.
It breaks our hearts that this week would have been the 5th year that we would have been up

for the team camp. The team that came down the mountain was always different than the one who went up. We will make something else work, but it's sad that we wont have our pics
Good win and better at the little things. 48-0 over a scrappy Kern Valley team. Defense was lights out. Offense is getting better. We aren't done....on to week 3.

We are working with the Shafter High Boosters to help us start raising money for our boys to get rings. Please help if you can. All money raised goes to the purchase of rings for the team.
Beginning. Is a testament to them as players & young men. To our seniors thank you for continuing the traditions & expectations our program has established these last 4 years. Your place in our foundation is solid & something future Generals can stand on with pride. Thank you!!!
