Gilroy High School

GILROY—The Gilroy High wrestling program has a storied history of excellence, producing several California Interscholastic Federation state and Central Coast Section champions. The walls of the Bob Hagen gym are decorated with its multiple CCS team titles—the Mustangs have won 12 straight—and on Monday night, Gilroy added another honor to its collection: a proclamation from the City of Gilroy.

Gilroy High’s wrestling team rode five pins to a 61-16 victory at North Salinas on Wednesday night to end the regular-season dual meet schedule.

Christopher High’s baseball team held San Benito to two hits on its way to a stunning 2-1 upset of the first-place Balers on Tuesday in Hollister.

Christopher outhit Monterey 9-6 Tuesday, but couldn't best the Toredores in the runs column.

Ties seem to be the trend for Gilroy thus far. The Mustangs tied 1-1 in overtime at Presentation Friday, putting them at 0-0-2 in the Mt. Hamilton League so far this year. GHS is 4-0-2 overall. The Mustangs were without the services of standout Katrina 'KC' Carter, who suffered an upper body injury in Wednesday's game against Mitty.  Freshman Emily Boykin scored the lone Gilroy goal, a game tying score with three minutes left to play.  Gilroy will be back in action at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Leigh.
