The magnitude of the final week of the regular season took on heavier implications for the Gilroy High boys soccer team and head coach Armando Padilla after learning they must forfeit last Friday's 1-0 win at Alvarez because an ineligible player, who received two yellow cards in the previous game, played in Friday's match.

Behind Scott Taylor and Derek Jensen's timely, sharp shooting, the Gavilan College men's basketball team orchestrated a second-half comeback from down by 13 with 12 minutes left to up by two and on the verge of Coast Conference victory No. 1 against visiting Hartnell on Friday night. However, an unfathomable 3-pointer and a pair of Panthers free throws carried Hartnell to a 76-73 win over the Rams.

Winners of its last three Tri-County Athletic League games - including back-to-back victories over San Benito and North Salinas - the Gilroy High girls basketball team came into Thursday night's contest against first-place Notre Dame with upset in mind.

Both the Gilroy High and San Benito boys soccer teams entered Wednesday's must-win match with the feeling that there was more to be done after a 1-1 draw in the teams' first encounter left each unsatisfied and with business unfinished.

San Benito girls soccer head coach Ben Alvarez didn't want to put pressure on his young team before Tuesday's match against Gilroy, but he knew the team was well aware the Balers needed a win to keep its slim playoff hopes alive.
