Carmel made it clear from the beginning that they were going to run the ball and rely on their running back Covossay Windham in a 42-14 win over Christopher on Sept. 9.

Live Oak used Jacob Ryder’s 77-yard-run in the second play of the second half as a spark on its way to a 14-35 win over the Cougars.

Dylan Holler and Joseph Barnes had nights for the books.

For the sixth time in a row, Christopher rang the Severance Bell after defeating Gilroy 27-13 Friday night in the season opener.

Christopher went winless in the Gabilan Division a year ago, so it seemed fair to ask Coach Tim Pierleoni if the goal for the season was to get his team qualified for the playoffs.

After back-to-back three-win seasons, Gilroy is looking to start a new trend in 2016.

When R.J. Collins and Jesus Limon graduated from high school, no colleges offered them a scholarship. But after two seasons playing for Gavilan College, Collins and Limon are a step closer to their dreams of playing for a four-year university. Last Friday the two were inside the Gavilan gymnasium in front of family, friends and teammates to confirm their signings.

Gavilan football players are getting a much-needed breather this week and next as the Rams have reached their state-imposed practice limits.

Entering its 41st year of existence, the Bill Flodberg Mt. Madonna Challenge added a unique challenge this year to continue to add something new for runners of the race set to run Aug. 20.

Former world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, Mexican brawler Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo and undefeated 2012 U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha participated in a press conference in Santa Monica Tuesday hosted by Spike in advance of the Premier Boxing Champions and Bellator doubleheader Aug. 26 and 27 from Honda Center in Anaheim.
