After winning only their second Tri-County Athletic League championship — going 29-5 in the process — the Balers were decorated with year-end awards inside the TCAL.
Draped in upper-right wall of Mattson Gym, the boys league-championship banner lists only two titles under volleyball. With the Balers 3-0 victory over Watsonville on Tuesday, the boys volleyball team positioned itself one win away from adding a third.
Behind 23 assists from senior David Hawks, the San Benito boys volleyball team improved to 13-1 inside the Tri-County Athletic League on Tuesday with a 3-0 win over Christopher, as the Balers close in on their second TCAL championship.
After finishing its second tournament this year with a 3-1 record, the Balers improved to 16-3 on the season as they enter the final month of the season.
Despite a season filled with a coaching change, a plethora of injuries and a number of players entering the season late because of winter sports, San Benito has been, at times, dominant on the volleyball court.
Up 23-14 in the third game of the Balers volleyball match with Palma on Tuesday, San Benito looked like it was going to take control of the early-season contest.
