In three years, the Aptos Mariners went from a first-round exit in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League tournament to the program’s first Central Coast Section title in more than 30 years.

Four Aptos High, four St. Francis, one M.V.C. and one Pajaro Valley High male-student athlete make up next best 10 of 2017-18 school year.

Down seven heading into the fourth quarter, No. 2 Aptos buckled down on defense and made just enough plays on offense to escape No. 15 Marin Catholic, 56-54, and advance to the quarterfinals of the CIF NorCal Division III playoffs.

Local tracks stars shine, Watsonville softball dominates, St. Francis, Watsonville & Aptos baseball notch wins and Mariners volleyball continues impressive push.

The Monte Vista Christian girls volleyball team will begin its Central Coast Section Division IV title defense on Wednesday night at home against Half Moon Bay High at 7 p.m.
