The Gilroy field hockey team started its season off on the right foot, going undefeated at the Varsity Jamboree tournament Saturday at Saratoga. Morgan Rogars was one of the top scorers for the Mustangs, who topped Los Altos 4-0, Saratoga 1-0 and tied with Archbishop Mitty 1-1. Coach Adam Gemar also noted Cathy Carbajal and Carli Colyer as standouts from the tournament.  Gilroy (2-0-1) will host North Salinas at 3:30 p.m. Thursday before playing in the Leigh Roundup tournament Friday and Saturday.

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.
