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.

A Gilroy High School junior suffered life-threatening injuries following a three-car accident involving a big rig Wednesday morning.

Gilroy took advantage of two plays—a 90 yard pass and a 23 yard run—to take an early control and get its fourth league-win beating Monterey 42-9 and make a little history.

Gilroy dominated the last set 15-5 to win the match 3-2 on senior night.

Christopher’s defense had everything under control late in the fourth quarter, but North Salinas struck gold on a 42-yard play to give the visiting team a 28-24 win.

After suffering a heartbreaking loss a week ago at Seaside, Gilroy needed to make a statement against Watsonville to stay relevant in the Pacific Division picture.

On its first play from scrimmage, San Benito found the end zone when Hunter Raquet hooked up with Adam Mendoza for a 22-yard touchdown. That pretty much summed up the Haybalers’ 45-0 win over Christopher Friday in a Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division contest.

Gilroy fell in a tie breaker to Monte Vista Christian on Wednesday, with MVC taking the match thanks to the score of its sixth player.

SALINAS—Gilroy stopped Alisal on its opening drive on a three and out. The ensuing punt was bobbled and the Trojans turned it into a quick 6-0 lead.

SALINAS—Christopher couldn’t get anything going offensively against Salinas and ultimately fell 35-3 to open Gabilan Division play.
