Meanwhile, the Spartans are 10-3-6, 7-1-1 after suffering a 1-0 loss to Chino Hills on February 2nd.

CHS girls water polo rebounds to topple top CIF team
The Claremont High School girls water polo team did not let Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Charter Oak deter them from their playoff hopes. Instead, the Wolfpack came back last night and defeated a top ranked CIF Southern Section team.
CHS decided to shake up the CIF Division III Top 10 poll by handing No. 5 Ayala an 11-8 defeat in Chino Hills on Thursday. The win avenged a one point defeat to the Bulldogs earlier in the season and may help the Pack return to the Top 10 list themselves.
Lauren Mitchell, Piper Moore and Jordan Carmody each scored 3 goals to lead the Wolfpack. Jackie Monroe contributed 3 steals and 3 assists while goalie Emilie Lacy finished with 5 steals and 7 blocks.
Claremont will next host St. Lucy's at home this coming Thursday at 4:15 p.m.

Kessler signed with the Utes as a priority walk-on to assure him a spot on the 2011 roster while Tuliaupupu will become a Bruin on a full athletic scholarship.
"These are kids that we will miss big time and not just necessarily because of their athletic skill," said CHS ASB Advisor Jack Harper.

Knights get the better of CHS faculty for 2nd straight year
Though this year's game between the Hollywood Knights and Claremont High School faculty was much closer than the 2010 version, the result was still the same. The Knights defeated the CHS faculty, 74-67.
The real winners of the celebrity game was the CHS boys basketball team, who received all proceeds from the event. No official tally has been given as to how much the team raised.
Claremont High School Principal Brett O'Connor, who played as a member of the CHS Faculty team on Saturday, said that attendance was down from last year but was grateful that the Knights made the trek to Claremont for the 2nd consecutive year.
CHS returns to action at Charter Oak on Wednesday with the tip-off at 6:30 p.m.

CHS Cheer halfway towards fundraising goal
While tomorrow's COURIER will feature coverage of Sunday's Claremont Toyota/Claremont Educational Foundation Prius Raffle, another story coming out of the event is Claremont High School's cheer program raising $1200 towards its $3900 price tag to compete in next month's nationals. Both the junior varsity and varsity levels will be vying for the national crown.
The cheer program sold the most tickets (144) of any booster or school group during the 4-month raffle and as a result received $720. Being the top seller earned the group another $500 surprise at the event.
"We have to raise $3900 so we're excited to receive this," CHS Cheer advisor Roni Franco said. "I didn't know that we sold that many but I know that my girls are glad."
Congratulations to the cheer program for their accomplishment and best of hopes that they raise the amount needed for next month's event.
