Five of Gilroy's top academic performing seniors got a special treat on March 21 as they earned scholarships to attend the "7 on 7 Training Academy", which is hosted by coach Sherman Croft. The camp was held at Cabrillo College in Aptos. 

APTOS — The last time Gavilan and Cabrillo met, the game ended in a one-run decision, 7-6 in favor of the Seahawks, after eight innings. History has a way of repeating itself—though not exactly.

Christopher High’s girls basketball team was rewarded for its historic season when two Cougars recently received Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division honors.

It wasn't exactly the start that the Christopher girls tennis team was looking for. The Cougars lost six of the seven matches at Pajaro Valley Thursday. Emily Barham was the lone victor, winning in two sets 6-4, 6-4. The doubles pair of Sara Blawski and Minna Wu kept their match close, before ultimately falling in to sets 7-5, 6-4. The Cougars were playing without the services of two of their normal varsity starters, but coach Patrick McBrearty said that it was a taste of what some of his JV players could expect from the next level. "The good thing is it gave some of the other CHS players a chance to get into the competition," he said. "Hopefully we can field a full team against Gilroy." Christopher will be back in action at 4 p.m. Tuesday to host Gilroy.  VOLLEYBALL Gilroy loses in three to Alvarez Gilroy dropped it's league opener 3-0 Thursday at Everette Alvarez. The Mustangs lost 19-25, 16-25, 21-25 and were led offensively by Leilani Mah. On defense, Gilroy was highlighted by Bailie Erickson.  The loss drops Gilroy to an overall 1-4 record and 0-1 in the Monterey Bay League Pacific Division. The JV squad also lost its contest in two sets 4-25, 10-25. JV standouts were Desiree Cundiff and Evelyn Clonts.  Gilroy will be back on the court at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to take on Monte Vista Christian.  GIRLS GOLF Christopher tops Trinity Christian, Watsonville The Christopher girls golf team stayed perfect on the season, topping Trinity Christian 245-268 and Watsonville 245-310 at Monterey Pines Thursday to improve to 5-0 on the year. 

Just a few days removed from its first victory of the season, the Gavilan College men's basketball team had a bit of momentum as it headed north for an appearance at the Skyline Tournament in San Bruno on Friday and Saturday.

The Gavilan College baseball team kicked off Coast Conference play with a 6-5 victory over defending champion Ohlone College in 10 innings in Fremont on Tuesday.
