VILLA PARK - The Corona del Mar High boys water polo team put
together a strong showing and placed third at the 32-team Villa Park Boys

After a 13-2 win over Canyon in their first tournament game, the Sea
Kings continued to impress with an 18-4 win over Jurupa Valley. CdM

Pantuliano chipped in one.
The scoring spree continued in Game 4 against Villa Park, where the

each.
The Sea Kings’ one chink in the armor came in Game 5 against Coronado,
where CdM lost, 10-6. Mann, March and Dorr each had two goals in the
attack, but the loss sent CdM to the third-place game against Clovis.
