Christopher High School

GILROY— Pink balloons floated in the Christopher dugout during Tuesday’s game at Gilroy High. The Cougars wore pink socks and eye black and players from both sides donned pink bows in their hair—and did it for Natalia Salcido.

Christopher High School held a candlelight vigil in honor of 15-year-old Natalia Salcido, who was killed in a car accident May 9. Salcido was a sophomore at the school and a member of the cheer and dance team. More than 1,000 people attended the vigil to honor and remember Salcido's life on Monday evening.
