Boys Basketball:
Claremont traveled to Bonita on Thursday evening.
And the Wolfpack were hoping to secure Palomares League victory No. 1 in 2024-25.
CHS got off to a solid start, as they took a five-point lead into the second period.
However, Bonita answered immediately with a 21-9 run, and they outlasted Claremont, 74-69.
For all intents and purposes, the game was decided by 3-pointers.
BHS had a 14-7 advantage from 3-point land.
Hunter Smith had a monster game with 27 points.
And the Bearcats all-time leader in 3-pointers had a game-high seven 3’s.
Smith scored 22 of his 27 in the second half, and that included five 3-pointers and 17 points in the third period.
Dylan O’Hara and Beau Rudometkin provided nine points each in the win.
Jaden Cardenas scored a game-high 32 points for CHS.
Jaden Wang connected on six 3-pointers, and he finished with 20 points.
Up next: BHS will host Workman on Friday and Chino on Saturday before they resume Palomares League play on Tuesday.
