The Claremont High School
varsity girls tennis team
will have to wait until the
end of September to begin the
2011 season. But the group can
barely conceal its excitement about
a possible CIF run.
Coach Tom Spinosa believes this year’s
squad not only can win the Sierra League
but also go deep into the CIF Southern Section
playoffs. Most of the players on this
year’s roster are returning players from last
season.
This may be recreation softball, but don't tell the players that. The game can be serious business. PNS Flyers Eddie Thia tries to avoid getting tagged out
