Anchorpoint Christian and Oakwood Country School may have other simalarities, but on Wednesday, the one that stood out most was maximum effort out of its basketball players. In a Coastal Athletic League encounter between the tiniest high schools in Gilroy and Morgan Hill, host Oakwood played a calm, collected and well-executed three quarters of basketball. In rebuttal, Anchorpoint awoke late and forced the issue with a calculated fourth-quarter rally.

Jenny Velasco Gaeta was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. She moved to Gilroy at the age of fourteen. She attended Gilroy High School and Gavilan College.

Selecting students for the Gilroy Dispatch’s annual senior spotlight honor is no enviable task. That’s why we make the principals do it (and they resent us for making them narrow it down!). These students have navigated the labyrinth of high school hurdles, and we are inspired by their optimistic outlook, refreshing attitudes and heartfelt honesty. We celebrate them, their families, their mentors and all the graduating seniors in the class of 2014.

Halloween seems to bring out the creativity in pet owners who make the cutest, cleverest, and funniest costumes for their dogs, big and small, to parade around in.

The Christopher High boys basketball team had little time to dwell on a difficult one-point loss to Seaside on Tuesday, as the Cougars were back on the court Wednesday against host Pajaro Valley. After a tightly contested first quarter, CHS went on a tear, outscoring the Grizzlies 29-7 in the second quarter en route to an 86-41 victory.
