BROWNSVILLE—The basketball season’s not over just yet for the San Benito Lady ‘Hounds.
The girls kept their campaign alive with a huge 37-29 win over Brownsville Rivera on Tuesday night to finish the district season 6-8.
The win forged a tie with Los Fresnos (6-8) for the fourth-and-final playoff spot in District 32-6A. The Lady Falcons stayed alive with a 37-24 victory over Brownsville Hanna.
Now, the neighborly rivals will meet for a play-in game on Friday to determine the final playoff representative from the Lower Valley big-school district.
San Benito, in its first season under coach Abel Moreno, defeated the coach’s former team with its back against the wall to end the regular season on a high note. The girls grew as the season wore on and will now have a chance to extend their season.
