GILROY—If it weren’t for their uniforms, it would be hard to tell the players from Gilroy and Christopher High schools apart. The Cougars and Mustangs interacted like teammates during their Thursday match at Gavilan College. To them, it was just like playing a round with friends.

GILROY—Christopher’s slow start led to a quick sweep as it fell 10-25, 15-25, 17-25 to San Benito Thursday at home.

BELMONT—Gilroy High made its presence known amongst a crowd of more than 250 runners at Saturday’s Crystal Springs Invitational in Belmont.

Gavilan’s Angel Velasquez notched 13 saves against City College of San Francisco Friday, but unfortunately for the Rams, it wasn’t enough. Gavilan was shut out for the second straight game, this time falling 2-0.

SALINAS—Things didn't go as planned for Gilroy or Christopher Friday as both teams left Salinas with a loss. The Mustangs fell 21-7 to Alisal, while the Cowboys sent the Cougars home with a 41-7 loss.

SALINAS—Gilroy’s Monica Ruelas continues to solidify her reputation as one the Monterey Bay League’s top female runners. The junior Mustang took home her second straight first place finish at Wednesday’s MBL-Pacific Center Meet No. 2 at Toro Park.

The Gavilan and Ohlone volleyball teams went back and forth in Set 1 of Wednesday's match-up. But after the Rams recorded the first victory, 25-22, it was smooth sailing for Gavilan, which won in straight sets in Fremont. 

GILROY—Daniella Sanchez is a bright, bubbly, athletic 8-year-old. But behind her big brown eyes and sweet smile is a girl who likes to hit—and she’s good at it, too.

The Christopher JV squad was handed its first loss of the season, falling 16-13 to Palma at home Oct. 2. 

GILROY—The chemistry between Nicole Holder and Savanna Brandon is undeniable. Gilroy’s No.1 doubles partners look like they’ve been playing together for years, but in reality this is their first season together out on the court. That’s one of the perks of playing with your best friend.
