Justin Hale pitched a five-inning shutout with nine strikeouts to help Gilroy High’s baseball team to a 20-0 rout of Pajaro Valley on Monday at Watsonville High.

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

Hanna Tabron poured in 23 points to help Christopher’s girls basketball team open Monterey Bay League play with a 52-43 home win over North Salinas on Thursday night.

For nearly six innings, San Benito was far from the team that’s expected to challenge for a Central Coast Section title Monday against Gilroy. In the only game this year against rival Mustangs, the Balers couldn’t find a way inside the strike zone – walking eight batters – and couldn’t take advantage of their offensive opportunities.

Andres Jimenez scored on second-half assists from David Valencia and Raymundo Gonzalez, and Gilroy High's boys soccer team rolled to a 3-1 victory over Pajaro Valley on Friday at Watsonville High.

Through four innings, the rivalry game between San Benito and Gilroy on Thursday was scoreless, but hardly lacked in offensive chances.

Christopher picked up its first win since Dec. 9 as it cruised past Monterey 3-1 at home Thursday. 

When Gilroy’s Kimberly Davis and San Benito’s Corey Latham woke up Saturday morning, the two seniors couldn’t help but think about the possibility that they would be swimming in their final individual events of their high school career.

Hanna Tabron scored 12 points, but Christopher High’s girls basketball team saw its season end with a 38-26 home loss to Notre Dame of San Jose in the quarterfinals of the Central Coast Section Division III playoffs Saturday.

GILROY—Thursday’s game between Notre Dame-Salinas and Gilroy was much closer than the score shows.
