Coalinga Faces Late Rally as Homecoming Night Ends
In the fourth quarter the secondary was fooled on a 27 yard pass from Bryan Capps to Rick Benstead for a touchdown. Cotes missed the extra point. With seconds left Shafter drives to the Coalinga 47 where Herman Jones lofts a late pass to Jim Nixon followed by Nixon’s decisive run. Homecoming night ends in suspense.

Delta Mendota Canal and Kern County water project plans
Kelly urges immediate action on a proposed Central Valley Project canal from Sam Buis Reservoir near Mendota south to Kern County. He argues the Delta Mendota Canal has unused capacity and a new San Luis Reservoir to Kern County canal would not conflict with the state water plan and could begin without disturbing the overall program.
