Salinas-San Benito football

 You can sit there and look at the three turnovers Salinas committed.
 Or the three San Benito fumbles that the Cowboys couldn't bounce on as the difference in Friday's 14-7 loss in the CCS Division I finals.
 Maybe it would have been a different game.
 The bottom line is San Benito is a program that rises to the occasion this time of the year.
 It's not an accident that the Balers were taking part in their third straight Division I final, winning their second title in three years.
 Salinas ran into a defense that has been filthy over its last five games, allowing just 19 points in the last 18 quarters.
 San Benito did things that Salinas had done throughout the postseason -- such as create turnovers and produce points on special teams.
 San Benito earned this championship.
