Christopher High School

There was more pink in the Gavilan College gym than in a John Hughes movie and it was all for a good cause.

After being beat 20-8 last month by Harbor, the Cougars returned the favor.

Gilroy headed into Wednesday's match with Trinity with only two girls and Coach Daniel Valdez left with a great sense of pride. 

The Christopher girls tennis team was one win away from beating Monte Vista Christian and it all came down to the No. 3 doubles match. 

North Salinas snapped Christopher's three game winning streak by handing it a 5-1 loss Monday on the road. 

GILROY—All the other matches had wrapped up, but Christopher’s Adena Chen and Gilroy’s Jessica Martin weren’t quite finished with each other yet.

All the hard work Gilroy put in over the summer looks to have paid off.

SAN MATEO—The Cougars had to battle not only Hillsdale, but the wind, too—and they didn’t let either get the best of them.

If the Christopher High boys water polo team ends up winning the Monterey Bay League Pacific Division championship this season, it will look back to Thursday’s match against host San Benito as the one that catapulted it to title glory.

GILROY—Christopher fell just four points shy of beating Carmel and going 3-0. But with all the things the Cougars did right against the Padres, they aren’t hanging their heads.
