The Gilroy cross country team got a taste of what to expect at the Central Coast Section Championships this year.

It was all about Gilroy’s Brandon Boyd Friday — but he didn’t want it to be.

Christopher’s Matt Higgenbotham seemed to have the ball perpetually attached to his hand in Tuesday’s match at Gilroy.

Felicia Newell has the same interests as any other 17-year-old girl: she likes to exercise, dance and play sports. The only difference is that Newell has cerebral palsy, which Mayo Clinic defines as “a disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture that is caused by injury or abnormal development in the immature brain, most often before birth.” Her condition also resulted in a mild case of mental retardation.

Gilroy and Christopher High Schools have a better idea of who they will be facing on the field this fall.

Tuesday was bittersweet for three Gilroy softball players who signed their letters of intent to play in college.

It didn’t take long for Gilroy to secure its championship.

From the start of the season, Gilroys’ goal was to reach the Central Coast Section Division II finals. On Wednesday, that goal was achieved. After falling to Los Altos early, the Mustangs bounced back to top the Eagles 2-1 in seven innings at San Jose PAL Stadium. The win sends Gilroy to the finals where they will take on Mt. Pleasant at 3 p.m. on Saturday. “We’re pretty excited right now,” Mustangs coach Julie Berggren said. “This is definitely something the girls have been working on the entire season. It’s a goal we set at the beginning at the year. We’re really, really excited.”

The student athletes of Gilroy High School were recognized for their accomplishments during the 2012-2013 Athlete Associate Awards on Monday night.
