GILROY—Christopher’s Nicole Andresen had a lot of firsts at the “Stinky Rose” Tournament Friday. It’s her first year playing water polo, her first tournament and her first time playing not one, but full two games as the goalie.

With two minutes left in the game, Live Oak enjoyed a two-goal lead when Christopher called a time out.

GILROY—While Gavilan scored 63 points in its season opening win against  Shasta, it also gave up 50. Coach Spencer Gilford acknowledged that his cornerbacks are all freshmen and that the play of the defensive secondary must improve.

The Gilroy boys water polo team dropped it's third straight game.

Gilroy coach Brian Boyd contributes the loss to Live Oak to three key plays: two bad snaps on third and short that were recovered, but forced the Mustangs to punt and a play where the ball took a funny bounce on an Acorns kickoff that Gilroy thought was going out of play, but was recovered by the hosts and returned for a touchdown.

The Christopher girls tennis team got its season off to a strong start, sweeping Live Oak 7-0 during its scrimmage Wednesday. 

After a 12-6 win in the season opener, Christopher now has its eyes fixed on Live Oak. The Acorns, which beat Gilroy 31-21, and Cougars are 1-0 heading into this week and a win for either will put them one step closer to being South County champions. Christopher, which beat Sobrato, Live Oak and Gilroy last season, are the defending champs but it won’t be an easy task defending the title.

Olivia Tabron is making her case for a Monterey Bay League First Team honor—and it's only Christopher's seventh game of the year.
