Gilroy High School

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

After being beat 20-8 last month by Harbor, the Cougars returned the favor.

South County Chrystler Jeep Dodge Ram has joined forces with Gilroy High to raise up to $5,000 for the school's athletic program. 

GILROY—As far as Gilroy High is concerned, the last four weeks don’t matter. The Mustangs want to put their preseason struggles behind them and focus on the task at hand: their Monterey Bay League-Pacific Division opponents.

STOCKTON—Dani Hemeon caught herself cheering on her cousin, Emma Leach, and had to stop herself. Under normal circumstances, she’d be rooting for her as loud as anyone, but Sept. 14 was anything but normal.

Gilroy headed into Wednesday's match with Trinity with only two girls and Coach Daniel Valdez left with a great sense of pride. 

The Christopher girls tennis team was one win away from beating Monte Vista Christian and it all came down to the No. 3 doubles match. 

North Salinas snapped Christopher's three game winning streak by handing it a 5-1 loss Monday on the road. 

GILROY—All the other matches had wrapped up, but Christopher’s Adena Chen and Gilroy’s Jessica Martin weren’t quite finished with each other yet.
