What a difference a year can make.
The Claremont High School varsity boys water polo team avenged a pair of defeats suffered at the hands of Ayala last year with a 14-11 win over the Bulldogs on Tuesday.
"It felt so good to beat Ayala," said Stephen Zetterberg. "Last year, I remember that they beat us twice by one goal. But we really won this one and it shows the great heart that we have as a team this year."
Claremont rode the backs of Luke Miller (6 goals), Jonah Dowd (5 goals) and freshman goalie Steven Cable, who recorded several saves and deflections for the Pack in the victory. Remy Ertaud (2 goals) and Zetterberg scored Claremont's other 3 goals.
Personally observing the team, Claremont has made huge strides from 2010. Although the team is younger with just a few seniors, the Wolfpack's underclassmen (led by Cagle) have been playing solid at the varsity level. Along with defeating Ayala for the first time in 3 tries, CHS also played competitive against Damien last week in a match that was decided by just 5 points. Last year's Claremont team lost to the Spartans by 15.
Coach Melissa McKown has gotten her team in prime position to make some noise this year. Like the CHS varsity girls volleyball team, only mistakes will be able to prevent the Wolfpack from advancing a few rounds into CIF this year.
