A monkey gone and keep the Christmas cash at home
A standing ovation for the Gilroy High School Mustang field hockey team members who finally threw the biting and chattering Los Gatos High monkey off their backs. It took yet another epic CCS playoff performance to subdue the ’Cats, but this time Gilroy triumphed. The winner came in the second penalty stroke round which followed two scoreless sudden death overtime periods. Wowza! The haughty Los Gatos monkey has been cast iron for years … so many great GHS players now playing NCAA hockey in elite programs couldn’t accomplish what this year’s team did Thursday. The 7-6 win puts the Mustangs in the finals Saturday, where hopefully St. Francis will be next to taste a bitter defeat. On behalf of all those affiliated with GHS field hockey (including my two daughters), thanks to Coach Adam Gemar, who puts his heart and soul into the program, and to Celeste Mendoza for drilling the game winner.Â
