Claremont High School boys soccer would be having a record breaking year if not for Diamond Bar. The Pack’s one loss in the Palomares League was two weeks ago against the Brahmas, who have stubbornly refused to lose.
But the Pack is still having a remarkable year as they added another game to the win list Tuesday in a 3-0 victory over Bonita at CHS.

A soccer game between two well-matched teams is going to be very physical. But last Thursday’s boys varsity match in Claremont resembled a completely different sport—something between rugby and wrestling.
Even veteran coach Fred Bruce-Oliver commented afterward that it was more like a tackle football game. Twice the boys got into shoving matches resulting in plenty of yellow cards and even a red card for the Brahmas’ Tony di Donato.

This year was a time of firsts and lasts in Claremont sports—a time to say goodbye to longtime coaches and welcome new ones. It was also the end of a dynasty and the inception of others.
It was the first football season in over 20 years without Coach Mike Collins, after he retired in December 2014. And in June, cross-country coach Rob Lander took a job leading Chaffey College’s program.
