The Christopher boys volleyball team has won its ninth straight game.

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.

GILROY — You don’t have to be a lifelong volleyball player to be successful. Gavilan’s Brittani Siaz is proof of that.

An old rivalry was renewed with all the bells and whistles Friday night.

The names we give our man-made structures often come from the surrounding landscape. But we have so urbanized our environment that those names have often lost their meaning. I confess that when someone says 'Stevens Creek,' I think of a boulevard and not a creek. It makes perfect sense, but I remain a bit skeptical that there is such a thing as a creek with that name. I decided to investigate.

The Gilroy High wrestling team hit the mats for the first time this season at the Chukchansi Invitational, taking fourth place at the 37-team tournament over the weekend.

Gilroy’s last practice before a scrimmage in Carmel had just ended.

Shane Suttles took the court ready to work for his points inside. Andrew Foster, Wyatt Rocheleau and Evan Shapiro looked eager to attack the rim.

MONTEREY — Gavilan coach Spencer Gilford had just two words for his team following Saturday’s game: Stay focused.
