High School Sports

Christopher did plenty offensively to beat Monte Vista Christian.

Big game tested Valley Christian charged into Gilroy High to take on a Mustangs squad with something to prove. With the end of the season glaring at both schools, something had to give - though neither team conceded much in a shoulder-to-shoulder match.

Christopher ended the regular season on a high note, beating Monterey 7-5 Thursday at home. 

MORGAN HILL—In the first set of Thursday’s match at Live Oak, Christopher couldn’t get that final point to take a 1-0 lead.

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

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

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.

Christopher High boys divers Nathan Myers and Anthony Lopez placed first and second, respectively, at the Gunn Invitational on Saturday.

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.

It’s been since 2006 that the Gilroy HIgh softball team has been able to best San Benito. But that doesn’t mean the Mustangs haven’t had their chances, and Tuesday that streak continued in Gilroy as the Balers made it 20 straight wins over their rival.
