On November 15 at the Roseville Aquatic Center the El Camino High Schools Girls and Boys Water Polo teams made history. For the first time not only were each team's back-to-back GEL Champs by being undefeated, but they were also able to make it all the way to the D3 Section Finals. Unfortunately, that is where this year's season came to an end. The girls' team had a hard-fought battle vs the raining champ and #1 seed Christian Brothers. And the boys also fought hard, losing to the #1 seed Roseville High School. Congratulations to each of these teams and athletes for making it as far as you did. Way to go Eagles.
