Christopher High School

SAN JOSE—A goal 18 years in the making was finally accomplished Wednesday night.

SEASIDE—The Christopher boys basketball team is wasting no time preparing for the 2014-15 season.

GILROY—Twenty six years ago, Jeff Garcia was prepping for his last high school football game—the Silicon Valley Youth Classic.

Monterey Bay League realignments for the 2015 Spring sports season were announced July 16 with very few shifts for Gilroy-area teams.

Nathan Myers jumped off the diving board at Christopher High, thinking the only impact it would have would be his body hitting the water. The then-junior was just fooling around, enjoying the honor luau as a result of his good grades. But from the instant his feet left the board, Cougars diving coach Paul Wells was watching—and his trained eyes realizing natural talent.

The 2014 prep football season is less than two months away and the Gilroy-area high schools are gearing up.

Whether it was beating each other to the finish line or beating each other to the lunch line, Christopher’s Cydney Caradonna and Rayshon Mills have been in constant competition since sixth grade. Neither was content with letting the other one win. As a final accolade of their high school careers, Caradonna and Mills are both in the spotlight as the Gilroy Dispatch Athlete of the Year selections from Christopher High—and there’s no one else they’d rather share it with.

Christopher High freshman summer workouts will get underway on June 23. Practice runs from 4-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and will continue until July 31.

CLOVIS—Christopher’s Ally Foster has hit 18 feet in the long jump before, but her previous attempts have always been scratches. Not this time.

Lauren Castro, Alexis Conlon and Brook Loesch’s names are seen repeatedly as stat leaders for their respective teams. On May 31, the trio made it onto another list—the Monterey Bay League-Gabilan Division First Team.
