Christopher High School

GILROY—The field hockey stakes have been raised this season. When Gilroy and Christopher clash this year, it’ll more than just friendly competition.

Christopher will take the field tonight for the final time in 2015. Senior night, normally bittersweet, will just be bitter as the team must take the field less than a week after the passing of Jennifer Pierleoni.

Round one of Gilroy and Christopher was a classic that came down to a layup in the final minute to put the Mustangs on top.

After playing its first six games away from Gilroy, the Christopher High boys varsity basketball team hit the ground running in its home opener with a 71-48 victory over Pacific Collegiate on Tuesday night.

The Christopher girls basketball team found itself in hole at halftime, a hole that was too keep to get out of.

Earlier this year, former Gilroy High School quarterback Niko Fortino had a message on his phone. On the other end of the voicemail, Independence High School head coach Norm Brown relayed the news Fortino had wanted to hear for quite some time. He had been chosen to be a member on the South squad in the Silicon Valley Youth Classic Charlie Wedemeyer All-Star football game – the annual exhibition that showcases the upper-echelon of outgoing senior football players in Santa Clara County.

GILROY—Christopher High’s new and stunning Don Christopher Sports Complex was marred sometime over the weekend after vandals ripped up part of the field.

BAKERSFIELD — Nikko Villarreal and Paul Fox made a pact — they were both going to finish their high school careers as champions.

It took an outstanding save by Christopher keeper Carlos Arroyo to wake up the cougars in their 2-0 defeat of Santa Teresa Saturday afternoon.

GILROY—The last time Christopher and Gilroy met, it took just one big inning to put the game. This time, it was Gilroy’s turn.
