Prep Roundup: Sept. 27

It wasn’t exactly the start that the Christopher girls tennis team was looking for.

 

The Cougars lost six of the seven matches at Pajaro Valley Thursday. Emily Barham was the lone victor, winning in two sets 6-4, 6-4.

 

The doubles pair of Sara Blawski and Minna Wu kept their match close, before ultimately falling in to sets 7-5, 6-4.

 

The Cougars were playing without the services of two of their normal varsity starters, but coach Patrick McBrearty said that it was a taste of what some of his JV players could expect from the next level.

 

“The good thing is it gave some of the other CHS players a chance to get into the competition,” he said. “Hopefully we can field a full team against Gilroy.”

 

Christopher will be back in action at 4 p.m. Tuesday to host Gilroy. 

 

 

 

Gilroy dropped it’s league opener 3-0 Thursday at Everette Alvarez.

 

The Mustangs lost 19-25, 16-25, 21-25 and were led offensively by Leilani Mah. On defense, Gilroy was highlighted by Bailie Erickson. 

 

The loss drops Gilroy to an overall 1-4 record and 0-1 in the Monterey Bay League Pacific Division.

 

The JV squad also lost its contest in two sets 4-25, 10-25. JV standouts were Desiree Cundiff and Evelyn Clonts. 

 

Gilroy will be back on the court at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to take on Monte Vista Christian. 

 

 

 

The Christopher girls golf team stayed perfect on the season, topping Trinity Christian 245-268 and Watsonville 245-310 at Monterey Pines Thursday to improve to 5-0 on the year.
