JSerra wpolo wins coin flip, SM-Servite to play for third (corrected)

November 6th, 2008, 8:54 am by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com

Update: this post has been updated twice already this morning because apparently I left my brain at the Foothill-El Toro water polo match last pm. Some might argue it's not much of a loss for me.

JSerra's boys water polo team this morning won a coin-flip for SECOND place in the Trinity League, leaving Santa Margarita and Servite to play for third place. That match will be played Friday at SERVITE at 4 p.m.

The Eagles forced the three-way tie by upsetting No. 8 JSerra on Wednesday. But by winning the coin-flip, the Lions helped minimize the damage.

Bridgford(s) only getting started at Mission Viejo

October 8th, 2008, 10:41 pm by DAN ALBANO, ocvarsity.com

Orange County football fans should now be well aware of Mission Viejo quarterback Allan Bridgford. But, did you know that his kid brother, Alex, is a 6-foot-2 freshman quarterback at Mission Viejo. Alex tossed six touchdowns last week against Murrieta Valley, his father, Richard Bridgford, said earlier this week. So if the rest of the South Coast League was counting the days until Allan graduated, they might not get much of a break from the Bridgfords.
