The Christopher and Gilroy tennis teams met for a crosstown clash, but only one could come out on top.

The Christopher girls golf team was holding its breath as the final scores were tallied. A collective sigh of relief could be heard as the Cougars (6-0) won their closest match of the year, a 283-290 win over Salinas at home Monday. Christopher Natalie Gutierrez and Salinas High's Madison Chapman tied for medalist honors, both shooting a 47. Gutierrez and Chapman both had multiple pars in the match. Nina Velez shot a 54 for the Cougars, while Alex Granados shot a personal best of 57.  Christopher will be back in action at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Pacific Grove.  

The Christopher High field hockey team is playing for more than just a win today.

Terry Mayes just can’t let go of golf.

The Gavilan volleyball team swept Monterey Peninsula College 3-0 Friday in a Conference Crossover game at home. 

The Gilroy area cross country teams had much to smile about after their first Center Meet of the season. 

One week after playing one strong half of football against highly ranked Costa Costa College, the Gavilan Rams made enough big plays in both halves to pull out a 33-29 non-conference victory over the College of the Redwood Corsairs Saturday afternoon.

It was all about Gilroy’s Brandon Boyd Friday — but he didn’t want it to be.

Ties seem to be the trend for Gilroy thus far. The Mustangs tied 1-1 in overtime at Presentation Friday, putting them at 0-0-2 in the Mt. Hamilton League so far this year. GHS is 4-0-2 overall. The Mustangs were without the services of standout Katrina 'KC' Carter, who suffered an upper body injury in Wednesday's game against Mitty.  Freshman Emily Boykin scored the lone Gilroy goal, a game tying score with three minutes left to play.  Gilroy will be back in action at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Leigh.
