GILROY—The future of Christopher boys water polo looks bright—especially now that it has the league Freshman of the Year on its roster.

GILROY — For the first time in school history Christopher walked away the winner of the crosstown clash with Gilroy.

Christopher did plenty offensively to beat Monte Vista Christian.

GILROY—Teammates call them the “deadly duo”, and twins Jesus and Luis Martinez showed why on Tuesday as Christopher powered past Seaside for a league win on home turf.

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.

Santa Catalina had 35 straight wins heading into Thursday's contest against Christopher, but the Cougars put an end to that.  The Christopher girls golf team topped Santa Catalina 257-265 Thursday at Gilroy Golf Course.  Natalie Gutierrez scored at 47 to lead the Cougars against S.C. Julie Santiago shot a 52, Kylie Kuwada a 52, Nina Velez a 53, Alex Granados a 54 and Mia Navarro a 62. Navarro drove No. 17 green to get her first official birdie.  S.C.'s Chloe Corriveau was the medalist, shooting a 38.   CROSS COUNTRY

The Gilroy High field hockey team remains undefeated in the Mt. Hamilton A League.

GILROY—Saturday marked a new beginning for Gilroy. The Mustangs left the struggles of recent years in the past and marched out onto the team’s brand new field, determined to defend it.
