Ceres High’s varsity football team lost by shutout for the third time this season this past week.

The Beyer Patriots thrilled their Homecoming fans with a 43-0 win over the Bulldogs Friday evening at Johansen.

“It’s frustrating for everybody,” head coach Matt Chachere said. “We expected more from our team this week. Give credit to Beyer. They executed in all three phases.”

The last-place Bulldogs dropped to 0-5 overall and 0-2 in the Western Athletic Conference standings.

The first-place Patriots improved to 3-2 and 2-0.

Ceres High will miss the playoffs for the 15th consecutive year.

“It’s the same thing we see every week,” Chachere said. “There are mental mistakes all over the field. We’re not getting production from certain guys. Some guys that haven’t played deserve a chance now.”

Ceres High struggled to generate offense as it totaled a season-low 86 yards with a season-high five turnovers.

“There’s nothing you can do to overcome that (three fumbles and two interceptions) no matter how good you are,” Chachere said. “We played extremely sloppy. We have to improve on our base plays. Stuff we’ve been running since May.”

The Bulldogs rushed for 59 yards on 32 carries.

Montrell Bland ran for a team-high 32 yards on six carries.

Central Valley transfer Amare Padilla mustered just 22 yards on 15 carries.

Sophomores Bryce Piatt and Roberto Tiscareno split time at quarterback.

Piatt completed 3 of 7 passes for 26 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Tiscareno completed 1 of 5 passes for 1 yard and one pick.

Aaron Delgado caught two passes for 15 yards.

Sophomore Verlis Smith had a 10-yard reception.

Ceres High will play at first-place Johansen (4-1, 2-0) this Friday.

The Homecoming contest will get underway at 7 p.m.

“You got to take it personal,” Chachere said. “It should be motivation for the guys. It’s definitely going to be a challenge for us. Johansen’s turnaround started last year with their play on the field. They’re a well-coached team. They execute. They limit big plays.”
