HOLLISTER—In terms of rivalries, one would be hard-pressed to find a better one than Gilroy vs. San Benito baseball.

GILROY—The third quarter has been Christopher’s Achilles heel and Thursday night was no different as North Salinas mauled the Cougars 69-38 in the Monterey Bay League-Gabilan Division opener.

The Gilroy boys water polo team dropped it's third straight game.

Hanna Tabron had 15 points and Olivia Tabron scored 14 to lead Christopher High’s girls basketball team to a 49-38 home win over Salinas on Tuesday night.

Winning pitcher Lauren Castro pitched five scoreless innings, and Kaylana Mah and Anna Gamboa had two hits each to help Gilroy High’s softball team open the season with a 4-0 home win over Santa Teresa on Wednesday.

Christopher and North Salinas duked it out Tuesday, but neither could gain an edge. 

SAN JOSE — Christopher linebacker Jacob Moen was a force to be reckoned with all season long.

Pat Valdez had two hits, and Robert Driscal doubled and drove in a run, but Christopher High’s baseball team suffered a 4-1 loss to Wilcox to open the Valley Christian tourney Monday.

On paper, Friday’s Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division game between the San Benito and Gilroy baseball teams looked like a mismatch.

GILROY — Gilroy coach Greg Varela has always trained his wrestlers to beat the No. 1 ranked opponent.
