Each week, we recognize one area male and female athlete for their performance on the field of play. This week's are:

The St. Francis field hockey team was undefeated heading into Thursday's match, but the Mustangs changed all that. 

VIRGINA BEACH, VA. — March was quite a month for Gilroy’s Paul Fox.

Gilroy snapped a two-game losing streak with a big 47-40 win over Yerba Buena Friday on the road.

GILROY — After jumping out to a 22-point lead at the end of the first, the Gilroy girls basketball team was able to relax and just play its game.

Christopher picked up its first win since Dec. 9 as it cruised past Monterey 3-1 at home Thursday. 

Gilroy High wrestling coach Greg Varela said this past weekend's 35th annual Doc Buchanan Invitational - a tournament that hosts the who's, who of California's top-ranked wrestlers - served as a mid-term-like indicator as the season makes a turn for crunch time. The Mustangs are sitting above the curve.

A rivalry on paper hardly translated to one on the floor as the Christopher boys basketball team easily handled Gilroy, 68-33 Friday night.

Loses don't get much more heartbreaking than this.
