Christopher’s offense took advantage of Gilroy’s defensive struggles to comfortably take the last game of the regular season 13-2 in five innings.

Christopher had clawed its way back into the game against Gilroy, tying the game with three runs in the fifth and two more runs in the seventh but it was the Mustangs who got the big hit.

It was a meet to remember for the Gilroy High and Christopher High track and field teams in last Friday’s Monterey Bay League Pacific Division Championships. The Mustangs—competing in the comfortable confines of their own facility—placed first in the boys team competition and second in the girls competition to Christopher.

In a pitcher’s duel, Gabriella Howard drew the short stick on Christopher’s loss to Notre Dame 1-0.

Gilroy falls to 3-4 in league play in their 23-3 loss to Notre Dame in five innings Thursday evening.

For the second week in a row, Gilroy’s Logan Flores had reason to celebrate.

Gilroy couldn't stop Salinas’ offense on the Mustangs’ 10-1 loss Thursday evening.

The Gilroy High wrestling program is the gold standard in the Central Coast Section, having won 14 consecutive championships. The Mustangs are virtually unbeatable in section, with quality wrestlers in just about every weight class. Such is the dominance of Gilroy that it could beat a solid San Benito squad 54-12 on Dec. 14 in the Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division opener for both teams.

BAKERSFIELD—Two finalists. Four medalists. Nine qualifiers. Fifth place in the state.

Gilroy made history yet again at the Central Coast Section wrestling championships over the weekend at Independence High School. And that’s Gilroy the city, not just Gilroy the high school.
