GILROY—Christopher fell just four points shy of beating Carmel and going 3-0. But with all the things the Cougars did right against the Padres, they aren’t hanging their heads.

Gilroy's Taylor Silacci was hard at work Wednesday, helping her team stay undefeated.

Gilroy’s emotional week culminated with an emotional win 37-14 over North Monterey County Friday as the Mustangs closed out the regular season in honor of Dylan Holler.

Christopher won its third straight game Tuesday and now has a winning record for the first time this season. 

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

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 already trailed 3-0 heading into the final half inning at Leigh Saturday—but the hosts weren't done.

Hanna Tabron had 12 points and Cydney Caradonna scored 11 to lead Christopher’s girls basketball team to a 35-25 home win over San Benito on Thursday night.

After back-to-back three-win seasons, Gilroy is looking to start a new trend in 2016.
