Girls Tennis:
By Bob Waldman
This is something you won’t read often, but the Claremont doubles teams had to carry the Wolfpack to victory.
That isn’t a slight in the least to the three doubles teams, it’s just that CHS singles has been so reliable all year.
In Wednesday’s 10-8 victory over Portola in the first round of the CIF-SS Division 1 playoffs, CHS singles went 4-5, while the Wolfpack doubles claimed six match victories.
Portola’s No. 1 singles player, Bella Chitiv, won all three of her matches on Wednesday.
Chitiv dominated Claremont’s No. 1, Goldie La, 6-0.
And she would go on to earn 7-5 and 6-0 victories over Sydney La and Kyriaki Papadatos, respectively.
The La sisters would win two singles matches apiece.
Caren Uribe and Jahday Drewery claimed comfortable victories of 6-2, 6-0 and 6-0 in the No. 1 slot.
Elizabeth Gonzalez and Gillian Magallanes won two of their three matches for Claremont.
Up next: CHS will travel to ML King on Friday.
King crushed Crescenta Valley, 17-1, in their first-round match.
Baseball: I’ll start by saying that Chino Hills absolutely earned its 4-3 Baseline League victory over their visitors from Los Osos. The Grizzlies had their chances on Wednesday, they made some mistakes on defense, and they came up short. The Huskies should be commended for securing the No. 3 seed out of the very tough […]
Boys Tennis: Claremont (doubles), Ayala (singles), Glendora (singles) and Alta Loma doubles all went home Wednesday as Palomares League finals champions. Claremont’s Caleb Fong & Mateen Ghafarshad faced their fellow Wolfpack teammates, Liad Geldwet & Josh Bonner. Fong & Ghafarshad cruised in a 6-0 and 6-1 victory in the finals. Ayala’s Brandon Vu claimed the […]

Baseball: In yet another recurring plot twist, Damien regained control of the Baseline League penthouse on Wednesday. After the Spartans 6-4 victory over Etiwanda, and with Chino Hills defeating Los Osos, 4-3, DHS enters the final game of the 2024 regular season with a one-half game lead over the second-place Grizzlies. Nathan Ries struggled, but […]

College Baseball: PCC is ending the 2024 regular season portion of their schedule with some momentum.

Jameson Ferraro and Ben Griffith combined to hold the Coyotes bats mostly silent throughout PCC’s 3-1 victory. […]
Editor’s Note: El Monte doesn’t post their roster online, so I couldn’t mention any of their players. Baseball: Marshall Fundamental officially wrapped up the No. 3 seed out of the Mission Valley League. The Eagles cruised to an 11-1 victory over last-place El Monte on Tuesday. With one MVL game to play, Marshall holds a […]
