Christopher’s Bella Marquez did her job in the cage and then got to test her skills on offense — and she came out firing.

The last time the Christopher and Gilroy boys water polo teams met, it wasn’t pretty for the Mustangs. This time around, however, the game went much differently — though the score may indicate otherwise.

It all came down to three points. The Christopher girls golf team upset Robert Louis Stevenson 287-290 at Spyglass Hill Golf Course in Pebble Beach Tuesday. The Cougars improve to a 7-1 record with the win. Nina Velez led Christopher, shooting a 51 and birding on Hole 3. Natalie Gutierrez and Alex Granados were close behind, both shooting a 54.  Christopher will take on the undefeated Santa Catalina at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at home.  Montoya-Valdez returns for the Mustangs After being sidelined with appendicitis in early September, Cierra Montoya-Valdez was final able to get back on the greens for Gilroy Tuesday against Salinas at Gavilan Golf Course. 

It was a tough battle for Christopher, but the Cougars persevered.

For the first half, Live Oak played up to Gilroy’s challenge.

There are moments that live forever.

GILROY — Call them the comeback kids.

GILROY — There seems to be no stopping the Gilroy offense.
