Division I boys water polo final
Irvine
El Toro 11, Newport Harbor 9 (F) The Chargers controlled this one early and often. Too much outside shooting, counter chances for the R and R boys and way too much Garrett Danner in cage for the Sailors to overcome. The Olympians poolside couldn't stop asking me about the number of saves by Danner or talking to themselves about his grade level - a sophomore
