WATSONVILLE
The San Benito boys water polo team took care of host Watsonville on Monday by a comfortable 18-7 margin, and improved to 5-6 overall this year, 3-1 in the Tri-County Athletic League.
Jordan Schafer tied a team-high with three goals in the win, but set up his teammates nine different times.
“He did a real good job,” coach Tom Agan said of Schafer’s nine assists. “It was fun for everybody.”
Thomas Parcell and Ryan Whiteside each had three goals as well, with Matt McCullough, Nick Angulo and Morris Stevens each supplying a pair of scores apiece.
Eric Nicolaysen and Ryan Agan both added goals, and even Kyle Reuther, who’s usually found in the cage, contributed a point for the ‘Balers.
