Gilroy High School

GILROY—Christopher’s secret is out.

GILROY—After being swept by Christopher last year, Gilroy wanted to prove its a completely different team.

The Gilroy field hockey team started its season off on the right foot, going undefeated at the Varsity Jamboree tournament Saturday at Saratoga. Morgan Rogars was one of the top scorers for the Mustangs, who topped Los Altos 4-0, Saratoga 1-0 and tied with Archbishop Mitty 1-1. Coach Adam Gemar also noted Cathy Carbajal and Carli Colyer as standouts from the tournament.  Gilroy (2-0-1) will host North Salinas at 3:30 p.m. Thursday before playing in the Leigh Roundup tournament Friday and Saturday.

MORGAN HILL—A year after two running games went wild to open the season, Live Oak and Gilroy took a different tact, but the result was the same.

GILROY—Not many field hockey games end with the teams practicing corner shots on one another, but that’s the type of relationship the teams of Gilroy and Christopher have.

LAFAYETTE, INDIANA—A smile creeps across Makaio Duyao’s face when he recalls playing in the Colt World Series and it gets a little bigger when the game’s final inning is mentioned.

The Gilroy High volleyball team isn’t worried about its record this season—wins and losses will take care of themselves. Instead, the Mustangs are hoping to bond with one another and have fun doing it.

FARGO, N.D.—The Gilroy High wrestling program has a storied history of producing elite athletes. The Mustangs have sent several wrestlers to the Asics/Vaughan Cadet and Junior Nationals tournament in Fargo, N.D. before, but none have ever won it—until now.

GILROY—This time last year, Gilroy field hockey coach Adam Gemar was scratching his head and wondering how he was going to make it through the season with only 13 girls. When the Central Coast Section mandatory dead period ended on Aug. 15, the Mustangs saw between 30 and 35 girls turn out for practice. What a difference a year can make.

GILROY—The familiar sounds of pads crunching and helmets clashing echoed throughout the Garcia-Elder Sports Complex on Friday evening. That sound could only mean one thing: Mustang football is back.
