No. 1 Palm Desert advances past Wolfpack

The Claremont High School varsity boys tennis team will not win a 3rd consecutive CIF Southern Section title in 2011.

Running into CIF-SS Division II seed Palm Desert on Friday, the Wolfpack struggled in the 2nd round against the Aztecs and eventually fell in defeat in a CIF-SS second round match, 15-3. Palm Desert scored an automatic 9 points by sweeping all doubles sets.

After winning back-to-back CIF-SS Division III championships in 2009 and 2010, CHS switched from the Baseline League to the Sierra League this season. Claremont won the Sierra League championship and advanced as a high seed in the Division II playoffs this postseason. Unlike its last two championship seasons, CHS did not have Clarke Spinosa, Torsten Keil-Long, Frank Liu, Scott Donaldson or David Standerfer on the roster this year due to the players graduating in 2009 and 2010.

Congratulations to the CHS boys tennis team for its efforts throughout the season.
