Casey Lester has watched a fair share of fellow teammates and friends sign their names on the dotted line, finalizing their commitment to four-year institutions to continue their athletic careers. Lester said she cried at every one of them.

The Christopher High football team played up to its billing as the No. 1-seed in a 55-0 drubbing of No. 8 Del Mar in the opening round of the Central Coast Section Division III playoffs Friday night in Gilroy.

Despite finishing the year 0-10, three Gavilan College football players received Coast Conference All-Conference team selections.

Talk about an instant classic. Faint of heart need not apply.

Three years after the program's inception, two weeks after earning a share of its first league title and two days after defeating crosstown rival Gilroy High in the second annual Severance Bowl, the Christopher High football team notched the No.1-seed into the Division III bracket of the Central Coast Section playoffs.

APTOS – A record of 0-10 was the result Saturday night when the Gavilan College football Rams tried to upset the Cabrillo College Seahawks at Carl Connelly Stadium in the Coast Conference and season finale for both teams.

Seeded No. 2 in the the Central Coast Section playoffs,  the Gilroy High field hockey team, moved past No. 10 Live Oak 3-1 in the quarterfinals on Saturday at Del Mar High School in San Jose.

With the chance to qualify for the state meet on the line, the Central Coast Section's top cross country runners converged on the visually inspiring yet physically challenging 2.95-mile Crystal Springs course in Belmont on Saturday.

A final chance at a victory awaits the Gavilan Rams (0-9) Saturday at 7 p.m. in Aptos as the Cabrillo Seahawks host the football finale for both teams in Carl Connelly Stadium.
