High School Sports

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.

Paulina Llamas scored twice to propel Christopher High’s girls soccer team to a 2-1 home win over Salinas on Thursday.

Gilroy got one final tune up before the start of league play on Wednesday, having its biggest game thus far.

Christopher used a strong defensive first quarter to sprint past Sobrato in the first round of the DII Girls CCS Playoffs, 48-37.

The Christopher girls golf team was holding its breath as the final scores were tallied. A collective sigh of relief could be heard as the Cougars (6-0) won their closest match of the year, a 283-290 win over Salinas at home Monday. Christopher Natalie Gutierrez and Salinas High's Madison Chapman tied for medalist honors, both shooting a 47. Gutierrez and Chapman both had multiple pars in the match. Nina Velez shot a 54 for the Cougars, while Alex Granados shot a personal best of 57.  Christopher will be back in action at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Pacific Grove.  

Gilroy High School is looking for a football announcer for the upcoming season. 

SANTA CLARA—Christopher was on the cusp of erasing a 10-point halftime deficit against Los Gatos when the Wildcats’ coach called timeout midway through the fourth quarter.

CLOVIS—Christopher’s Ally Foster has hit 18 feet in the long jump before, but her previous attempts have always been scratches. Not this time.

Brook Loesch went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, but Christopher High’s softball team suffered a 12-2, six-inning loss at Wilcox on Tuesday.

MORGAN HILL—Live Oak captain Amy Gunther said she’s more an assist player, but that didn’t stop her from knocking down baskets all night long.
