SAN BENITO—The San Benito Greyhounds have plenty to play for when they hit Bobby Morrow tonight at 7:30 and possibly for a final time in 2018.
Los Fresnos enters with a 3-6 record and a 1-3 league mark. The Falcons were eliminated from post season play in their Week 10 loss against Brownsville Hanna.
The ’Hounds enter the regular season finale with a 5-4 overall record and a 3-1 district record. San Benito will most likely play Edinburg High in the bi-district round. After tonight’s games, teams will have their playoff scenarios mapped out.
San Benito went through arguably the toughest non-district schedule in the Valley by taking on the likes of Calallen, Victoria West, PSJA and Midland Lee.
San Benito’s biggest win of the year came in their district opener when they beat Harlingen in the Battle of the Arroyo.
Since then, the ’Hounds have won two of their last three. Their only blemish came at home against Hanna. The ’Hounds could not find their footing as they generated just 168 yards of total offense along with being shutout.
While San Benito still has a shot to claim a share of the league crown, San Benito fans will be pulling for Harlingen South when they meet Hanna tonight at Sams Memorial Stadium.
A San Benito win and a Hanna loss would result in a co-championship between the ’Hounds and Eagles. While all four teams in league play are locked in by their divisions, the only possibility left is for a potential co-champ.
Senior quarterback Jacob Cavazos filled the shoes quite nicely in 2018. The senior eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark on the ground and through the air.
Cavazos has ran for 1,002 with seven scores and has ran for 100 yards four times this year. Through the air, Cavazos has 1,178 yards and has thrown for 10 scores.
