Gilroy High’s junior varsity boys’ basketball team hit the road for its last couple of games, clobbering Alvarez 64-31 Wednesday after falling short against North Salinas last Friday.
In the win over the Eagles, the Mustangs raced to a 12-1 first-period lead and cruised behind 15 points from Justin Wheat, 10 from Brett Jones and eight from Ryan Costa. In a 51-46 defeat to the Vikings, Gilroy was led by Wheat with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Costa had 12 points. Stephen Galtman grabbed 13 rebounds.
Gilroy’s freshman boys basketball team flew past North Salinas 68-36. Max Fisher led the Mustangs with 14 points and 14 rebounds. Next were Nico Sandaval with 13 points, Neal Dinsmore with 12 and Bryan Sanches with 10.
The freshman boys also sped past Alvarez 45-25. Sanches had 14 points and five steals. Chris Louvis had 10 points and Sandaval added six. Fisher contributed seven rebounds.
The girls JV basketball team won its game, 32-25 against Alvaraz on Wednesday. Shalisa Collins led with 10 points and 4 rebounds. Following Collins were Breanna Mah and Jennifer Rose with five points apiece. Mah had a team high of five steals.
Hector Salgado scored two goals and Christian Sanchez had the other as the GHS boys JV soccer team defeated Palma 3-1 last Friday. Joseph Souza assisted Sanchez.
The Mustangs had no trouble in a 3-0 beating of North Salinas on Wednesday at Garcia- Elder Complex. Marcial Gonzalez’s two goals, each on assists by Hector Salgado, and Christian Sanchez’s goal, wrapped up the game’s scoring in the first half.
Freshman Kasandra Kachakji had plenty to smile about after the girls’ soccer game at North Salinas on Tuesday. She contributed both goals as the Mustangs beat the Vikings, 2-0.
Only two wrestlers on the Gilroy junior varsity squad got an opportunity to wrestle Wednesday night against Alvarez’s undermanned team. Adam Rosso and Nick Ahmadkhani both got wins – Rosso by pinning his opponent in the third period, and Ahmadkhani winning by technical fall, 16-0.
The wrestlers participated in the Wildcats’ tournament in Los Gatos on Saturday. All six of the Mustangs’ wrestlers placed. Both Luis Barragan and Nick Ahmadkhani took first place. Jesse Hernandez finished third, Freddy Barrios and Adam Rosso took fifth, and Junior Espinoza was sixth.
