The story of this year's Claremont High School varsity girls soccer team has been a special one so far with the Pack being ranked No.1 in the nation according to MaxPreps and the the squad remaining undefeated with a record of 15-0-1 after 16 matches. The COURIER is watching and next week, I will get a firsthand view of just how good this team is when Claremont plays St. Lucy's on January 11.
Our normal way of coverage at the COURIER allows each CHS varsity team to receive a full spread of coverage at least once during each season. While larger papers focus on which teams in the area are more successful, we take a different approach because we are the "Claremont" COURIER and each of the varsity teams we cover at CHS represent our home teams. It doesn't matter whether they have a winning record, a .500 record or a losing record, if they represent CHS at the varsity level, they are included in our coverage.
Which brings me back to the varsity girls soccer team. I am hoping that the Wolfpack will pick up its 16th win today against Alta Loma because it will add even more intrigue to the rivalry match against St. Lucy's next week. And being that it will take place at Damien High School, it will be a short drive for CHS supporters to check out what should be a fantastic contest. Rivalry games will do that automatically but the chance for the Regents to knock the Pack from the No.1 spot will no doubt have them ready to play. And the chance for Claremont to stay No.1 will no doubt have the Pack motivated.
To the CHS varsity girls soccer team, you've done a terrific job kicking off the 2011-12 season and should celebrate all of the success that you've had to date. In 16 matches, you've only allowed 5 goals, showing impressive effort on defense. The old adage "defense wins games" is definitely true with your team. I look forward to next Wednesday and being able to see your talents on display for myself.
Congratulations and know that we haven't forgotten about you.
