High School Sports

The Gilroy girls golf team was three strokes shy of an upsetting Alisal Monday, but the Mustangs aren’t hanging their heads.

Nathan Myers jumped off the diving board at Christopher High, thinking the only impact it would have would be his body hitting the water. The then-junior was just fooling around, enjoying the honor luau as a result of his good grades. But from the instant his feet left the board, Cougars diving coach Paul Wells was watching—and his trained eyes realizing natural talent.

Christopher was only able to muster up four hits against the Monterey Bay League-Gabilan Division leading San Benito during its 8-0 loss Tuesday at home.

Both Gilroy water polo teams made a splash 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.

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

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

Christopher and Westmont opened the Central Coast Section Division II playoffs with an all-out battle.
