Keeping an eye on the game

Fallbrook High School’s boys water polo team won four of its five games in the Sept. 6-8 Poway Invitational tournament.

“We finished significantly higher than last year,” said Fallbrook coach Bill Richardson.

The official finishes in the Poway Tournament are based on brackets after each round of play rather than on overall record. Thus Fallbrook, whose only loss in the 2012 tournament was in the second round, took ninth place this year in the 28-team tournament. The Warriors were 3-2 in last year’s tournament but lost the first match and the consolation championship for an 18th-place finish.
