CASTROVILLE — North Monterey County may have prepared for Brandon Boyd’s rushing attack, but they seemed to have no answer for him as a kickoff returner.

Gilroy High has hired Brian Boyd as head football coach, athletic director Julie Berggren announced Thursday.

GILROY—Marcela Mantilla made her first trip to the Regional Championships count.

Gilroy and Christopher High Schools have a better idea of who they will be facing on the field this fall.

From the start of the season, Gilroys’ goal was to reach the Central Coast Section Division II finals. On Wednesday, that goal was achieved. After falling to Los Altos early, the Mustangs bounced back to top the Eagles 2-1 in seven innings at San Jose PAL Stadium. The win sends Gilroy to the finals where they will take on Mt. Pleasant at 3 p.m. on Saturday. “We’re pretty excited right now,” Mustangs coach Julie Berggren said. “This is definitely something the girls have been working on the entire season. It’s a goal we set at the beginning at the year. We’re really, really excited.”

When the Gilroy Mustangs came to play, they were unbeatable. Their 18-0 record in the Monterey Bay League’s Pacific Division proved that.
