In what was expected to be a competitive game with two top teams, the San Benito Lady ‘Hounds varsity basketball squad absolutely dominated their opponent en route to a Bi-district championship. The Lady Greyhounds ultimately took down the Lady SaberCats by a score of 61-32. San Benito will now travel to Corpus Christi on Friday to take on the Alexander lady Bulldogs.
On paper this should have been a close game as San Benito was averaging less than one point per game more than Vela on the season. The victory marks the sixth straight for the Lady Hounds.
Alexander, the runner up in district 29-6A this season, is rolling into this game after a tough 58-50 win over McAllen High and should prove as a solid battle for these Lady Hounds. A win in the second round would mark this year as the best in team history for San Benito, so expect this team to earn another surprise victory.
Prediction: San Benito 58 – Alexander 47
