Gilroy High School

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.

All the hard work Gilroy put in over the summer looks to have paid off.

GILROY—The Mustangs held their heads high as they walked off the field at the Garcia-Elder Sports Complex Friday night. The scoreboard illuminated the final in the distance—a 40-17 loss to Piedmont Hills—but in their hearts, they were the winners.

GILROY—After being handed a 42-6 loss by Half Moon Bay in its home opener, Gilroy is receiving some tough love from the coaching staff this week.

GILROY—Wednesday’s match between Gilroy and St. Francis could’ve easily been mistaken for a Central Coast Section playoff game.

You can just call them the comeback kids.
