I’ve been comparing Los Alamitos and Foothill ever since I compiled the girls water polo preseason poll. I considered the Griffins’ injury news, incoming talent on each side and the tradition of Foothill girls water polo. The Lady Knights managed to come out on top each time until today.
I have cast aside the teams’ scores vs. common foe Edison and picked the better team at this point. Los Al has been more impressive and has the offensive firepower and defense that would earn a narrow victory against Foothill right now.

This week’s poll:
1. Corona del Mar
2. Laguna Beach
3. Newport Harbor
4. Los Alamitos
5. Foothill
6. San Clemente
7. Edison
8. Mater Dei
9. Rosary
10. El Toro – The Chargers are hanging on basically because there is no one with a resume to challenge them right now.
The contenders for No. 10 are:
Fountain Valley
Huntington Beach
Irvine
Laguna Hills
But each of these four has been inconsistent. The Barons might be the closest at this point but that loss against HB turned out to be a stinger.
