A look at the numbers...again

One of the biggest stories this fall for Claremont High School sports is the huge improvement of its football program. After 6 years of records at .500 or lower, the Wolfpack guaranteed a winning season in 2010 with its 6th win over Charter Oak, 35-32, last Friday.

With a 6-1 record, Claremont isn't just better. They are currently the class of the Sierra League with a 2-0 league record. This Friday's Homecoming game against Ayala will be a good test to see if the Pack can continue to be the league's top team.

While I wrote a short story in today's paper regarding Claremont's latest win, here's a look at some of the season stats to date for the Pack:

Daniel Kessler (QB) - 2214 yards passing (1st in Sierra), 23 touchdowns, 7 interceptions

Aaron Dockery (WR) - 47 catches, 857 yards (1st in Sierra), 18.23 yards per catch, 10 touchdowns (3rd in Sierra)

As a team - 235 points, 2248 yards passing (both 1st in Sierra)


There's no doubt that Claremont packs (no pun intended) a high powered offense that will be hard for any opponent to stop. I will be at the game on Friday in what will be my first up close look at the Wolfpack this season. Expect full coverage in next Wednesday's issue.
