Both the Gilroy High and San Benito boys soccer teams entered Wednesday's must-win match with the feeling that there was more to be done after a 1-1 draw in the teams' first encounter.
San Benito girls soccer head coach Ben Alvarez didn't want to put pressure on his young team before Tuesday's match against Gilroy, but he knew the team was well aware the Balers needed a win to keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
After allowing six straight points in the second quarter to fall behind 10-4, San Benito needed a spark to avoid watching their postseason hopes dwindle away.
There it was. The Balers undefeated season in the Tri-County Athletic League was about to come to a quick end and the visitors from Everett Alvarez could do nothing else but gloat.
Thirty-eight former Gilroy High wrestlers and coaches were honored prior to Wednesday night's Tri-County Athletic League dual meet against San Benito, and the Mustangs proceeded to treat the alumni to a glimpse of the now with a dominating 64-12 victory under the spotlight at GHS.
