SALINAS — Seven Gilroy-area ballers will get their chance to shine once more this season as they take the court for the 7th Annual North-South High School All-Star Basketball Classic Friday at the Boys and Girls Club in Salinas.

After dropping the first set to Chabot Thursday, Gavilan tore through the next three straight to win 3-1 on the road. The Rams won 16-25, 25-17, 25-14, 26-24.

GILROY—As the sun was setting Tuesday evening, the No. 3 doubles teams from Christopher and San Benito were still battling it out. All the other matches had ended with each team winning three apiece. The fate of the contest rested squarely on the shoulders of Cougars Allison Ramirez and Camryn Crowley—and they rose to the challenge.
