Winter Sports
Wrestling - Stephan Weidemann (Sr) finished in first place at the CCS championships with 3 pins on the way to a triumphant 5-0 win against Sam Watson (St. Francis). Next up for Stephan - state Championships in 2 weeks - good luck! Julian Calderon (Jr) finished 9th.
Also - Cadence Lee (Fr) represented Gunn well at the Girl's State Championships. Cadence entered unranked and finished in 7th place (state...).
Girls Soccer - Missing a key player (Alyssa Perrault- who scored the winning goal in the CCS first round), the girls put up a valiant fight against a bigger, tougher, St Francis squad (seeded 1st). At half-time as a result of great defensive work the game was 0-0 and St. Francis was starting to look anxious.
In the second half under a offensive onslaught by St. Francis, they finally scored. Molly Barnes (Sr. goalie) made sure by her great work in goal that no more goals were scored. Although Gunn had their chances to score, they failed to convert, resulting in a 1-0 win for St. Francis. It was a very well played game with excellent work in the mid-field and back line. Congratulations Coach Damian and his Lady Titans on a great season.
Girls Basketball - Won their quarterfinal game. Gunn 50 - San Benito 26.
Spring Sports
Softball -
The Lady Titans dropped their season opener 2-1 to San Jose's Evergreen Valley. Casey Maltz pitched well in the loss, giving up just 4 hits and no earned runs. Laura Tao led the offense with two hits and scored the lone Titan run. Claire Collins and Taylor Aguon provided the defensive highlight, combining for a double play.
Baseball - Won the season opener against Cupertino. Gunn jumped to a 7-2 lead with timely hitting and great pitching. The Cupertino squad fought back but the game ended 7-5 in Gunn's favor.
Track & Field - Open the season with a meet at Aragon HS (San Mateo).
