Here's two predictions for today's boys water polo playoffs:
Division V first round
La Habra (14-13) at Santa Monica (18-9), 3:15 p.m.
Jurupa Valley (12-13) vs. Fullerton (15-13) at El Dorado, 4 p.m.
Outlooks: La Habra, the fourth-place team from the Freeway League, meets Ocean League runner-up and fourth-seeded Santa Monica. Santa Monica was a semifinalist last season. Meanwhile, Freeway League No. 3 Fullerton plays host to Jurupa Valley, a third-place team from the Inland Valley League. The Indians showed grit in league, pushing Troy in first round of league. The Indians, however, dropped their final three league games.
Albano's predictions: Santa Monica wins and Fullerton wins a close match
