As a teenager, Christopher’s Athletic Director Darren Yafai dreamed of playing lacrosse. He knew the game inside and out, learning all the skills from his father, who had played in Canada. He frequently talked lacrosse with Gary Podesta—the head coach of the Santa Clara University team at the time—during his shift at Nob Hill where he bagged groceries. There was only one thing stopping Yafai from playing—Gilroy didn’t have a team.

The Silicon Valley Glory Baseball traveling baseball team—now in its seventh season—will host tryouts for this season’s 18U team at 2 p.m. May 18 at Gilroy High School. Incoming sophomores, juniors and seniors will make up this team.

GILROY—The Christopher diving team proved it’s the best the in Pacific Division.

Seaside was within one run of Christopher heading into the top of the fourth, trailing 5-4, but then the Cougars pounced into action.

GILROY—While Jessica Stofer could have left Gavilan last year when she did the math, staying with the Rams just made sense.

When Gilroy’s Kimberly Davis and San Benito’s Corey Latham woke up Saturday morning, the two seniors couldn’t help but think about the possibility that they would be swimming in their final individual events of their high school career.

GILROY—Questionable calls plus hot bats equaled frustration for Gavilan and run after run for Ohlone.

Christopher already trailed 3-0 heading into the final half inning at Leigh Saturday—but the hosts weren't done.

RENO— Finishing second at the NHSCA National Wrestling Championship in Virgina Beach last month was one of the toughest moments in Alexander Felix’s young career. He was dominate for most of the match, but one slip-up led a crushing defeat—but added fuel to his fire to work harder.
