GILROY—It’s been a busy summer for the Cougar and Mustangs volleyball teams. They’ve logged countless practice hours to prep for the upcoming season, and on Sept. 1 they’ll show each other what they’ve learned.

The Christopher volleyball team's hot streak is still burning.

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

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

The 2014 prep football season is less than two months away and the Gilroy-area high schools are gearing up.

Hanna Tabron scored 11 points and Teresa Guerra added 10 points to lead Christopher’s girls basketball team to a 60-26 win at North Monterey County on Saturday.

GILROY—Suzy Brookshire hit a three-run home run in the second inning off Gilroy ace Lauren Castro to lead San Benito to a 6-4 win over the Mustangs at Gilroy High.

If the first turnover was the snowball, then the six others that followed created one giant avalanche that swallowed the Gilroy High football team and left a Monterey High 54-21 victory in its wake on homecoming night Friday in Gilroy.

Gilroy and Watsonville battled for 80 minutes, but needed extra time to decide a winner.
