Davis is very young. The starting line up is 5 / 11th graders and 2 / 10th graders. Same lineup as last year. Freshman off the bench will be big contributors this season.
Several teams are quite young. Miramonte will be very good next year. Carondelet has a very strong junior class (and younger Arroyo as a freshmen). San Ramon Valley has several very good juniors and also quite a few talented underclassmen, including at least two freshmen (btw, where is T.Swann?) Davis has excellent junior class and also talented freshmen and sophomores. Arroyo Grande has several talented sophomores but losing their star senior will hurt next year.
Acalanes are straight-up dominating the 1st game of the Heather Carr tournament, Talk about cooking and coming in hot 
. This will be a fun few days to watch if they can keep it up

Looks like Acalanes and Carondelet both emerged undefeated this weekend, despite surprising losses from other teams. Acalanes, was slaying it and Carondelet bought their A-game, steady as ever. Too bad they didnāt face off! Can Acalanes break Carondeletās streak in their next clash, or will AG or SHP steal the show on a hot day? Such a great season so far! Canāt wait see the rankingsā¦
Acalanes is a good team, but they still have those losses to SRV and Carondelet from the Acalanes tournament. It looks like Carondelet is the team to beat. SHP is number two. SRV is third, Acalanes comes fourth, and AG is fifth. The bottom five of the top 10 is a mess 
SHP and USC commit goalie Ellison Brush blocked three 5m in the Leland game, all taken by Chrissy Flynn.

Campolindo beat Miramonte at home, 9:8.
Carondelet beat Monte Vista 19:10.
This weekend in AG should be telling as all the top teams (except Acalanes) will be competing in the AG Tourney. I maintain that Carondelet is a head above the rest, with SHP a step below them. Slightly below SHP (just slightly), itās the wild west with Campo, SRV, AG and Acalanes all capable of beating each other any a given evening. They can all beat Carondelet, but need to be firing on all cylinders and get Carondelet in foul trouble early (especially the Haast sisters). Beyond those 6, thereās another step down with IMHO, Miramonte and Davis leading the pack.
Should be a fun weekend in Pismo.

SRV just lost to Carondelet 8:18 a week ago, right? Does not bode well for SRVās ability to beat them, imho. Did SRV miss any of their key players in that game?
Where exactly do you see these ānationalā rankings?
Being #2 in Norcal, does not make you #2 in the nation.
It is not even clear that they are #2 in Norcal. Anyway, it is probably good that some people are superexcited
I donāt put much stock in the MaxPreps computer rankings but here you go. Note that these rankings donāt include the Southern California high schools because the Southern California schools donāt have a fall water polo season.

Itās in MaxPreps. Not sure itās accurate as the SoCal school have got to be amazing. But hey, anything that boosts morale Iāll take. Personally I think water polo is such an under rated sport yet so much fun to watch - not sure why it doesnāt get the credit it deserves. The athletes are incredible.
