To come away with a victory in San Benito's first game in the Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs over Archbishop Mitty, the Balers (7-2-1) have to do something they've done all year - stop the run.
Football coaches from the Monterey Bay Athletic League and the Tri-County Athletic League met earlier this week and voted on the placement of the leagues' teams in next year's equity league.
Nobody will win a trophy Friday at the Salinas Sports Complex. Instead something more important will be on the line - a Tri-County Athletic League championship.
In rivalry games, the rule of thumb is to always expect the unexpected. But nobody - including San Benito coach Chris Cameron - saw coming what happened Friday at Andy Hardin Field.
