Christopher High School

Christopher High's memorable season came to a close Tuesday night as Los Gatos made the trek to Gilroy and promptly spoiled the Cougars' inaugural postseason appearance 47-31 in the first round of the Central Coast Section Division II girls basketball tournament.

With Monday's match against Alisal tied at 3-all, the Cougars' fate rested on the shoulders of No. 4 singles players Jesus Velasquez. 

SAN JOSE — Christopher linebacker Jacob Moen was a force to be reckoned with all season long.

Andrew Foster had 21 points, Wyatt Rocheleau 20 and Takoda Bowers 16, as the Christopher High boys varsity basketball team trumped visiting Pajaro Valley with its highest scoring out put of the season in a 85-53 victory Thursday night.

After suffering a heartbreaking loss the day before, the Christopher boys basketball team wanted to be sure that didn't happen again. Four Cougars scored in double digits, helping their team to a 69-49 win over Del Mar Thursday at the Los Gatos Wildcat shootout. Christopher had lost by just one point, 70-69, in double overtime in the tournament opener and had to win to stay alive. Senior Evan Shapiro and junior Josh Wheat led the charge for CHS by both scoring 14 points in the game.  Senior Shane Suttles added 11 points, while junior Chad Hartman put up 10. Christopher (2-1) will continue play in the tournament at 5 p.m. today against Lincoln in Los Gatos for the Consolation Championship.  GIRLS BASKETBALL Christopher wins nailbitter  Talk about a close one. The Christopher girls basketball team fended off a 16-point fourth quarter burst from Pacific Collegiate to win 48-47in the opening round of the Watsonville Classic Thursday. The Cougars led 34-31 heading into the final quarter and were outscored by their opponents.

The Gilroy boys golf team is riding high.

With some of Christopher’s varsity starters not present for Thursday’s game, Shannon McAvoy’s role as captain became all the more important.
