GILROY — The Christopher girls soccer team was handed not one, but two huge blows heading into Friday’s Monterey Bay Gabilan League opener.

Nine Christopher wrestlers walked away victorious Wednesday following the team's 57-24 win at North Salinas.

The San Benito High boys’ soccer team came out with plenty of speed and intensity in the first half of Thursday’s Monterey Bay League Pacific Division match against visiting Christopher.

The Christopher boys basketball team gave its home crowd quite a show Wednesday. 

GILROY — Hibsen Tamayo-Davila’s shot was as perfect as they come — a rocket to the back of the net that even the most skilled goalies would have trouble defending. Monterey’s Fredis Pineda didn’t stand a chance.

39-2 — That's the margin the Christopher girls soccer team has outscored its opponents by through seven game. A perfect record and, most recently, a Burlingame Tournament Championship have made the Cougars season even sweeter.

Gilroy's Nikko Villarreal and Paul Fox are off to a dominate start to the season. 

Don't get too close to the Christopher girls soccer team or you might get burned.  The red hot Cougars maintained their perfect record with a 7-1 win over Soledad Wednesday at home. Christopher has now outscored its opponents 32-2 through six games.  Zidant Okere led the way with two goals and two assists in the game. Paulina Llamas scored her eighth goal of the season and also picked up an assist. Jamie Boutee, Jasmine Contreras and Summer Rodriguez each added a goal.  The Cougars have one game left before breaking for the holidays. They will play Pinewood at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Burlingame Tournament.  BOYS SOCCER Mustangs throttle Soquel If the game ended at halftime, Gilroy still would've beaten Soquel by a long shot. But the Mustangs went on to score seven second-half goals to beat Soquel 10-0 at home Thursday. Andres Jimenez picked up a hat trick in an assist in the game to lead Gilroy. Jimenez now has 13 goals this season. Emmanuel Cruz, Carlos Jimenez, Gaspar Figueroa, David Solorzano, Marc Rivera, Sean Kauffman and Tony Barredas each added a goal.  The Mustangs maintained their blemish-free record to improve to 5-0-1 on the season and will take on Mountain View in the 2013 Oak Grove Gold Cup Finals Saturday. Cougars fall to The King's Academy The King's Academy scored its lone goal in the first half, but that was all it took to top Christopher. The Cougars lost 1-0 at home Thursday to drop to 1-4-1 on the season.  Christopher will have a long break to heal up and regroup before returning to action at 1 p.m. Jan. 3 when it hosts Monta Vista — the team's last game before league play begins.  BOYS BASKETBALL Bob Hagen Tournament continues today The 34th Bob Hagen Memorial Tournament continues today at Gilroy High School.  Christopher will play Harbor after losing to Aptos Thursday. The Cougars will play at 5 p.m. today and win will propel them into the Consolation Championship game.  Gilroy, who beat Anzar 66-34 Thursday, will face Oakwood — who beat Live Oak in a 58-55 overtime thriller — at 6:30 p.m. today.  Anzar and Live Oak will play at 3:30 p.m., while Aptos will play Gunderson at 8 p.m.

If there's one thing to be said about the Gilroy girls basketball team, it's that it knows how to battle. 

Things are getting any easier for the Gilroy girls soccer team.
