Christopher High School

South Valley teams squared off in the 2015 Dig Pink volleyball tournament Oct. 17 at Gavilan College. 

Evan Shapiro continues to stay hot for Christopher. The senior led the Cougars boys basketball team in scoring for the second straight game, putting up 13 points in a 43-34 win over Lincoln in the Consolation Championship game of the Los Gatos Wildcat Shootout Friday. Three players — Josh Wheat, Adam Bravo and Miika Smith — put up eight points in the game while Chad Hartman had six. The win improves the Cougars to 3-1 on the season. Christopher will be back in action at 5 p.m. Thursday to take on Aptos in the Bob Hagen Memorial Tournament at Gilroy High School.  Mustangs fall in home opener If the Gilroy boys basketball team had to name one thing that hurt it Friday, it would be turnovers. The Mustangs had more than 15 turnovers in their 56-35 loss to Monterey in their home opener Friday.  Gilroy only went 2 for 5 from the line and was only able to hit one of its six 3-point attempts.  The Mustangs only trailed by one, 16-15, after the first quarter but were held to single digits for the remaining three while Monterey was able to put up 11, 18 and 11 points in the second, third and fourth, respectively.  Gilroy will look to rebound as it hosts the 34th Annual Bob Hagen Memorial Tournament, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Thursday vs. Anzar — a team it beat 64-34  on Dec. 10.  GIRLS BASKETBALL Cougars take third in Watsonville Tourney Cydney Caradonna put up a career-high 30 points for Christopher Saturday. The senior led the team to a 66-41 win over San Benito in the third place game of the Watsonville Tournament. Caradonna was named to the All Tournament Team for her performance through the three days.  Christopher held the Balers to just 15 points in the second half while putting up 40 points of its own. Dejah Raoof and Haley Romero complemented Caradonna with 10 points each. 

Christopher and Palma exchanged goals, but neither gained an edge. The two teams settled for a 1-1 tie Tuesday's MBL-Pacific contest in Salinas. 

The Christopher girls No. 3 doubles match almost had to be rescheduled Tuesday as they battled not only their opponents, but the darkness as well.   As the last ones to take the court — since Pajaro Valley has only six courts — the No. 3...

GILROY — Christopher’s head football coach Tim Pierleoni has been to the Silicon Valley Youth Classic before, but only as an assistant.

Few get the chance to play high school football. Even fewer earn the honor of being named an All Star.

The phrase “taking it easy” isn’t in the vocabulary of Christopher High’s Jacob Moen and Tiffany Roberts.

The Christopher High baseball team was inches away from victory Wednesday. Instead, Monte Vista Christian held on for a 3-2 win and, with it, created a logjam at the top of the Monterey Bay League standings.

GILROY—Gilroy wrapped up its regular season with a bang.
