Each week we will recognize one area male and female athlete for their performances. This week's are:

GILROY—After being handed a 42-6 loss by Half Moon Bay in its home opener, Gilroy is receiving some tough love from the coaching staff this week.

GILROY—Wednesday’s match between Gilroy and St. Francis could’ve easily been mistaken for a Central Coast Section playoff game.

GILROY—When it comes to Christopher and Santa Catalina, eight is the magic number.

Though Gavilan dominated possession against Yuba, it had to settle for a tie. 

You can just call them the comeback kids.

Santa Catalina was no match for Christopher's Melanie Tanaka.

The Rams faced tough competition at their Gavilan College Classic Saturday and came away with a split result. 

GILROY—Gavilan College’s bid for a third consecutive victory came up one quarter short Saturday night as the visiting Yuba College Forty Niners scored three touchdowns in the final 12 minutes to top the Rams 45-35 at Garcia-Elder Sports Complex.

CARMEL—Heading into Saturday’s contest Christopher coach Tim Pierleoni said Carmel would be one of the team’s toughest opponents all season—and he was right.
