As the season rolls on, the Cougars keep getting better.

The Christopher girls tennis was finally at full strength, having all its varsity players present for it's match against Monte Vista Christian.

Robert Driscal went 4-for-4 with a double, an RBI and scored two runs to lead Christopher High’s baseball team to a 10-7 home win over Monterey on Tuesday.

Taylor Slattery scored on an assist from Morgan Rogers to help Gilroy High’s girls soccer team to a 1-1 tie against visiting San Benito on Friday night at Garcia Elder Sports Complex.

Gilroy High wrestler Nikko Villarreal won the 145-pound title in the Doc Buchanan Invitational at Clovis High on Saturday.

The season came to a close for two local teams Tuesday as both found themselves eliminated from the postseason. 

SARATOGA—Before the season, Christopher wasn’t sure how things would pan out. It had lost 12 players to graduation, but had a slew of young talent eager to learn the game. The question marks quickly started to fade as the Cougars came together and picked up lopsided wins all season long, ultimately leading to their third Central Coast Section appearance in three years.

SALINAS—The last time Kaylah Grant ran at Toro Park, she took a wrong turn, adding minutes to her time.

Both Gilroy water polo teams made a splash on Tuesday.

It was a tough battle for Christopher, but the Cougars persevered.
