They always have solid players but the lack of a strong club foundation for the younger players has really hurt the program and puts them at a disadvantage as many of the stronger teams in SS have many players that have played club polo for a number of years before entering high school. Most of their players didn’t start playing polo until high school.

However with that being said, Aliso does deserve a lot of credit for their accomplishment and congrats to them on a great year.

Matt Villanueva- senior who had a huge year and basically led Aliso to CIF and had 5 goals in the CIF game. He was elected to 2nd team all league and was on the south all star team. He should have been selected for 1st team all league and at least 3rd team all CIF.

Zach Borsuk- junior who was the best all around player on Aliso. He is on Splash Balls Top 10 juniors twice for assists and steals. He also had 3 goals in the CIF game. He also came through in the clutch for Aliso with many game tying and winning goals this season.

Jon Frank- Sophmore and oh boy did he come through in the clutch. He didnt start this year until the Villa Park tournament when a player was injured the game before. He played exceptionally well. He had 3 game tying goals in that tournament and the game tying assist in the game against LB poly. I bet Aliso is excited about his future.
