CdM boys win in Maui

A tie was the only blemish, if you want to call a tie a blemish,

for the Corona del Mar boys 14-and-under junior water polo team as

they won the championship in the third annual Maui Invitational, Aug.

4-11.

CdM went 3-0-1 in their run to the title as it beat two Hawaiian

teams and a team from Northern California, 9-8, in the 54-team

tournament that featured teams from as far east as Maryland in the

five-day event.

The tie against a Northern California team came when the referees

called two different decisions on the same play.

Nonetheless, Tom Money took home Most Valuable Player honors for

Coach Ted Bandaruk and assistant coach John Money’s team.

Players making up the team include Justin Hupp, Ryan Hultman, Clay

Russell, Jake Campbell, Ryan Kent, Brendan O’Hara, Tyler Kent and

Marshall Tutton.

Coach Bandaruk’s next stop is the Oahu Tournament with the CdM

junior 14-and-under girls team.
