Gilroy High field hockey head coach Adam Gemar said recently that his team's defense would play a major role in how the rest of the Mustangs season plays out.

Gilroy High snapped a three-game losing streak in dominating fashion, routing Leland 11-0 on Monday.

Fabian Ruiz assisted Anthony Valazquez for the only goal necessary in a Gavlian College men's soccer team victory over Canada College on Friday.

The Christopher High football team trailed host Palma by single digits in the second half, but couldn't get over the hump, losing 28-12 in Salinas on Friday night.

Both Gilroy High and Christopher High head into Saturday's Dig Pink Tournament on a winning note, as both schools knocked off their respective Monterey Bay League opponents Thursday night.

Christopher High faces a Palma team that has given up 66 points through four games. Gilroy High hosts Monterey, a team that scored more than 40 points in each of its first three games this season. And so begins Week 2 of the vaunted Monterey Bay League Gabilan Division.
