Gilroy High School

SAN JOSE—It took Gilroy just six minutes to put up a crooked number on Saratoga—and the Falcons didn’t even realize what had hit them.

GILROY—Christopher’s Matt Adamkiewicz was one of the first players to reach the Severance Bell and he let it ring for all of Gilroy to hear. The junior QB led his team to it’s fourth straight Severance Bowl victory, reaching the endzone six times both in the air and on the ground en route to a 48-10 win over the Mustangs Friday at Gilroy High.

GILROY—Anyone who has seen Katrina Carter play field hockey had no doubts she’d continue her career in college. But if you would’ve asked Carter if she thought she’d get to this level eight years ago, she probably would’ve laughed at the thought.

Each week we will recognize one area male and female athlete for their performances. This week's are:

GILROY—The Gilroy girls basketball team hung up a new banner in the gym last season after winning the Monterey Bay League-Pacific Division title. With the title comes a promotion to the hyper-competitive Gabilan Division, but the Mustangs aren’t worried.

GILROY—Each week, Christopher coach Tim Pierleoni has told his team “this is the most important game in the history of Christopher High School right now, right here, tonight.” Each week, the Cougars took one more step towards clinching their second league title since the program started in 2010 and their first outright title—they were tri-champs with Monte Vista Christian and Monterey in 2012.

The Christopher girls water polo season came to end Saturday against Robert Louis Stevenson. 

WATSONVILLE—Gilroy had a couple goals in mind heading into Friday’s game with Pajaro Valley. The Mustangs obviously wanted to record a win, but they also wanted to ensure they established momentum for next week’s Severance Bowl.

GILROY—Thursday’s game against Presentation was bittersweet for Gilroy’s four seniors. While the 9-1 win over the Panthers was exactly the ending they hoped for, the graduating Mustangs were still in disbelief that they had played their final game at the Garcia-Elder Sports Complex.

Christopher went up against a tough Harbor, but displayed championship-style defense to come away with the win.
