An interesting week for the vote … last week, Ocean View beat Mission Viejo; Orange Lutheran lost twice, yes, but to the top two teams in the state rankings (Mater Dei and Long Beach Poly) …
My vote, one of six that are used to compile the top 10, went like this today …
El Toro All-County attacker Joey Fuentes signed Wednesday with UCLA, he confirmed in a text message moments ago.
The talented left-hander joins El Toro teammates Garrett Danner and Logan Chappell in UCLA’s impressive recruiting class. Coach Adam Wright also has commitments from Mater Dei’s Anthony Daboub and Patrick Woepse.

Two-time All-County water polo goalie Garrett Danner of El Toro has committed to UCLA, he said in a text message Tuesday.
Danner had narrowed his choices to the Bruins, USC or Cal.
“I felt it was the best fit for me as a student and as a player,” Danner said of selecting the Bruins. “UCLA also has an amazing campus. I really like (Coach) Adam Wright and (assistant) Dan Leyson. They are both great coaches and I feel they can help me reach my full potential as a goalie.”
The ultra-quick Danner is great get for the Bruins. The senior not only block shots but is an outstanding passer. He also has shown the ability to adjust as need. He should only getter better in college.

How I voted this week on the Orange County boys basketball top 10. There are six voters on the panel. My vote is not the final top 10.
1. Mater Dei (19-2 overall, 6-0 league … better than last year? Looks that way)
All-County water polo goalie Garrett Danner of El Toro said in a text message Saturday night that his college decision will come down to USC, UCLA and Cal.
Danner returned Saturday from a recruiting trip to Cal. He said he met last week with UCLA.
It will be intriguing to see what school Danner picks because with his quickness in the cage, he will be a factor in collegiate water polo. Former El Toro coach Don Stoll called Danner the best goalie he ever coached.
