If the Christopher High boys water polo team ends up winning the Monterey Bay League Pacific Division championship this season, it will look back to Thursday’s match against host San Benito as the one that catapulted it to title glory.

GILROY—Christopher fell just four points shy of beating Carmel and going 3-0. But with all the things the Cougars did right against the Padres, they aren’t hanging their heads.

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

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.

GILROY—When it comes to Christopher and Santa Catalina, eight is the magic number.

You can just call them the comeback kids.

Santa Catalina was no match for Christopher's Melanie Tanaka.

CARMEL—Heading into Saturday’s contest Christopher coach Tim Pierleoni said Carmel would be one of the team’s toughest opponents all season—and he was right.

GILROY—Gilroy was hoping its first home game would be a close, exciting game. Unfortunately for the Mustangs, they didn’t get what they hoped for.
