I believe it was El Dorado High School, but could have been Sunny Hills. Both had stellar Polo programs at one time. Love Coach Kyle.

Yes, El Dorado is correct. I dug up an old L.A. Times story (link is below but L.A. Times is subscriber only). The story of Oct. 7, 1989, reports a win by El Dorado over Newport Harbor, 8-4, with Kyle Utsumi scoring one goal. El Dorado had a very strong team that year, finishing in the semi-finals of 4A, the top division at the time.
