Boys soccer fights through tournament

The Wolfpack participated in the 24-team Chris Heyman Memorial Tournament this weekend, going 1-3 in their matches. Claremont lost to Etiwanda 2-1 and Colton 1-0. The Pack beat Moreno Valley 2-1 in the consolation bracket quarterfinals, then dropped the consolation semifinal 3-2 to Chaffey. Claremont’s next match is away at Chino this Thursday, December 6 at 3:15 pm.

 

Gaines’ 49 points not enough to seal win

Webb boys basketball beat Ganesha and Bloomington Christian on the way to the final of the Webb Classic Invitational, but fell to Excelsior 68-64 in the championship game.

Senior Silas Gaines had 49 points against Excelsior, but could not lead the Gauls to a last-gasp win. Boys and girls coach Rick Duque looks to improve on last season’s playoff appearance, where the boys were bounced in the first round. Webb next plays in the CSDR Riverside Tournament this Friday-Sunday. Vivian Webb girls basketball plays this weekend in the Vivian Webb Invitational at Les Perry Gym this Thursday-Saturday, after a tough 50-29 loss to Fairmont Prep.

 

Gauls soccer shows winning potential

Webb boys soccer trounced Whittier Christian 4-0 last weekend, starting the season off strong Coach Lucky Termisanren will look to repeat last year’s playoff-clinching league finish, after which the Gauls won their 1st round CIF match before being knocked out. The Gauls host Loma Linda this Thursday, December 6 at 3:30 p.m. on Chandler Field. Vivian Webb lost its first match of the season in a close match against Montclair, 1-0. Former US international defender Cle Kooiman coaches the Gauls, who also host Loma Linda at the same date and time, but on Faculty Field.
