After an unexpected bye week when last week’s game with Los Altos was canceled, the Balers (1-2) return to the field Friday against a familiar foe - Salinas.
Looking to improve its non-league record to 2-1, the San Benito football team returns to the field at 7:30 p.m. Friday in San Jose against Willow Glen.
For the second-consecutive year, the Balers will open their football season against an opponent that is coming off a deep playoff run the year before. After being overwhelmed with the speed of Palo Alto a year ago, San Benito will open its 2012 season at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Andy Hardin Stadium against 2011 Division II finalist Pioneer.
Nine months removed from a shutout loss to Archbishop Mitty in the first round of the Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs, the San Benito Balers’ 2012 football team is ready to wash away that bad taste from their collective mouths.
