High School Sports

The Gilroy High football program will hold its first day of practice for all incoming freshman at 5:15 p.m. Monday. 

GILROY—The Gilroy High wrestling program has a storied history of excellence, producing several California Interscholastic Federation state and Central Coast Section champions. The walls of the Bob Hagen gym are decorated with its multiple CCS team titles—the Mustangs have won 12 straight—and on Monday night, Gilroy added another honor to its collection: a proclamation from the City of Gilroy.

Gavilan College softball coach Nikki Dequin tells a detailed story of how she set out a year ago to change Elaina Vasquez’s swing.

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 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.

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

With some of Christopher’s varsity starters not present for Thursday’s game, Shannon McAvoy’s role as captain became all the more important.

GILROY—The season may be over for the Mustangs, but they continue to bring in the hardware.

GILROY—The Gilroy volleyball team fell in straight sets to Watsonville, but gave the visitors a run for their money along the way.

GILROY—It was eerily silent as Jimmy Lemberger stood at the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning. Josiah Wiley, the tying run, stood on second base and all Lemberger had to do was bring him home to keep Gilroy’s chances alive.
