The 2012 high school sports season will be a little different for schools in Gilroy and Hollister. After more than two years of discussion, the 2012 season will be the first in an equity league between the former members of the Tri-County Athletic League and the Monterey Bay League.

San Benito girls soccer head coach Ben Alvarez didn't want to put pressure on his young team before Tuesday's match against Gilroy, but he knew the team was well aware the Balers needed a win to keep its slim playoff hopes alive.
