Christopher had its chances against Monte Vista Christian, but ultimately fell 2-1 in a well-pitched game on Thursday.

GILROY—Christopher High’s new and stunning Don Christopher Sports Complex was marred sometime over the weekend after vandals ripped up part of the field.

Gilroy High sits in first place and will have seven wrestlers in the semifinals after the first day of the Central Coast Section Championships on Friday at Independence in San Jose. The Mustangs have 123.5 points, while second place Palma has 86 points. Meanwhile, Christopher High is in 14th with two wrestlers through to the semis.

Gavilan scored first against Hartnell Tuesday, but the Panthers didn't allow it anything after that. 

Last year was rough for the Gavilan women’s basketball team. An already small team—the roster maxed out at 11 players—was reduced to only five or six players at one point thanks to injuries. Those remaining struggled on the court and their record reflected it as the Rams finished 3-22 overall last year. The year before wasn’t any easier and Gavilan finished the season with a 1-24 mark.

Gavilan gave the home crowd a show one last time.

With their Tri-County Athletic League first team selections, senior Casey Lester and freshman Lauren Castro top a list of seven Gilroy High softball players to receive year-end awards.

Two games, 14 goals and two Tri-County Athletic League victories. Sounds about right.
